Aren't you the guy who just a few weeks ago was telling everyone on another thread they would be eating crow when they said you were crazy thinking you'd be getting a 100% raise??? You said it was basically a done deal and NJA would be a top paying employer?Lrjet55 said:Don't fill it out. Do yourself a favor. This is not the place to be!!!!
Straight from the horses mouth. NJA will never pay top dollar salaries. 100K will never happen!
Gunfyter, check your pm.
The MEC chair said the company will never give us a 100% raise because the company claims their employee costs will jump 300%. Now thats some happy horsesh!t.
This company is a friggin joke.
We have no benefits, no incentives, no stock options, nothing! yet we are not supposed to expect a wage that is industry standard or above because the company does not want to raise its labor costs.
For those who dont know a captain at NJA starts at $37,500! A 100% raise puts us just over $74,000. Still way below industry standard.
I guess my thought when I read those comments back then were "Why should the company give 100% raises when these guys have been working for such low pay for so long?" Basically, if they offered 30% more than you are making now, who's gonna turn it down? No one... you guys are making 30% less now, so a little bit of something would be better then a whole lotta nothing... From a business standpoint, if the guys are working for X now, they don't need 2X to continue... And since average raises are 3-4%, 30% would be like a jackpot hit.... from a company standpoint.Lrjet55 said:I may have said that and now I am admiting I am a fool. I am a complete idiot for taking an MEC member at their word, on May 28th, that 125K would be the minimum they would settle for and for thinking the NJA would actually value its pilots and make them well paid.
Most people on here couldn't say this... Kudos to you for admitting when you errored...Lrjet55 said:I am wrong and I admit it.

......so I have to ask.....who is holding a gun to your head making you stay here? I get the impression you're the type of whinner who wouldn't be happy with any contract. Just quit........if you're this miserable here I can only imagine what you're like in the cockpit. This job certainly isn't for everyone and you prove that point. I like the job......sure I have my moments but don't we all. I would encourage anyone to try it here after they educate themselves concerning the working conditions. If they feel they can't hack it..... that's fine.
