Much like ALPA the BOD determines Barger's pay. Since, Pilots do not pay the CEO they have no say. Simple as that.
Not true... as a 20 year ALPA guy, you should know this...
Pleazzze get over it. ALPA outlived it's usefulness 20 years ago.
Then why are we talking about ALPA? Your brought ALPA up in discussion....
I'd be more concerned with your weak compensation package that drags all of us down. Interesting that Bargers compensation comes shortly after jb pilots vote down a union. A reward no doubt of not an ill timed award.
If I were a jb pilot, I would be furious.
Apparently you are not. So why are you so into JB business?
B/C when my pilot group negotiates it compensation package your pilot groups numbers drag me down....
I don't want a gate agents 401k, medical, etc. That is obviously acceptable to you, but not the rest of us....
Starting pulling on the profession's rope, instead of riding along...
So what is fairly? Give me a number. While you are at it. What is the fair compensation for a Furloughed ALPA CA with 15 years experience in todays market. Please, tell me.
You need a number, look at the pay of Airbus 320 / B373 pilots at all the other carriers. Don't forget to include soft pay and benefits.. and yest I know about your over ride...
Is it reasonable that after 20 years of Union membership I have to start at the bottom again? All my experience an loyal Union support in means nothing. Union contracts as written do not value my experience and value either.
You knew that going in..... it sucks, and it should change... what did you do to effect change when you were an ALPA member....
Why do you put the onus on ALPA when your airline management couldn't keep it together...??
BTW JB treats me with respect. Not because I am an AIRLINE PILOT but because I am a human being. Also, why does a gate agent deserve a different or less respectful treatment then a Pilot? Are you really that arrogant?
I am not talking about respect. I am talking about pay according to responsibility, education training and certification.....
Have you been treated poorly for so long by corp America that respect has become a commodity instead of a basic understanding and principle of human social interaction?
