I use the reserve guarantee because the junior guy will be making that. And I'll educate you about airline life - nobody just gets paid guarantee. Lines aren't built that way.FamilyGuy said:Grump - why do you want to use the reserve guarantee? I thought you guys were opposed to working more hours for more money?
I'm not opposed to being paid more for more work - I'm opposed to management taking our current, 8-year-old rates, making us work more for those same rates, and calling it a "raise."
Let's say you make $30,000 for your 2000 hours of work per year. You go in to your boss to ask for a raise, because you haven't had one in 8 years. He says "Sure! How does $37,000 sound?" You say "Wow! A 23% raise! Sounds great!" He then says "Great, then you won't mind working 2460 hours a year for it, right?"
You wouldn't mind, would you?
Because that 23% wasn't in my paycheck last time I checked. Same reason I don't use the EMB rates for JB - nobody is getting those rates yet.And if you want to be totally fair about it, why dont you include the last company offer of 23% in the NJ totals?
I don't compare BBJ rates to A320 because almost nobody here gets paid BBJ rates, while pretty much every captain at JB is paid A320 rates. You were the one who tried to compare the pay rates to make a point - I am merely proving your point wrong.And compare BBJ rates to the A320 rates?
