Congratulations! Every little bit helps.

There are no congratulations here. This process was agreed to by both the PVC and the company. It was black and white... they had the answer and the numbers back in November. No magic tricks or atta boys required.

The facts are... the company sat on it and tried to figure out how big the backlash was going to be if they reneged on a "process" that they agreed to. In the end they gave us the pay raise and make the pilots feel like they "won" a victory.

Congratulations to the company for winning another round of "3 card monte".

nice touch, I never thought of any pay raise as something to be upset about. This is particularly true when you are pay well to do something you like to do. Lots of people never get to do that.

Agree. But our raise was based on the industry average of similar carriers. Industry problem. American problem in general, unless you are in the top 3-4%. If you work for a paycheck, your wages are not keeping up with inflation, and haven't been for years. If your pay comes mostly from capital gains or an executive pay package, your income growth is way above inflation. Statistical fact.

Also true. And sad. Look at pay rates from the early 80s. As an industry, we have really let inflation kick our collective ass.

Pay raise is great until they pull the rabbit out of the hat. The rabbit being premium pay over 78 hrs. They have stated they want to take a look at his subject. Oh boy heres your 2.21 percent-but we have to? You be the judge.

Pay raise = paying the agreed rate?
