NJA size

[rajflyboy]

Add me to the list. But the discussion about salaries in general (at NJA) involve my concern about our ability to compete, which is not affected by shortages or feelings about how much a pilot is worth. If a competitor can staff planes with perfectly adequate pilots for 60 percent of what we pay, we are in a competitive disadvantage, which is a bad thing.

Do you know anything about the financial history of the company during the 2000-2005 contract negotiation? Do you also know what the 06 and 07 profits were?

G4dude can simply start a fund and give a portion of his salary back to NJA...The rest of us will tell NJA to figure out how to make it work. There's a reason there is a contract and pay rates in place. Management agreed to them and they can figure out how to make NJA competative.

And the simple fact is professionals get professional wages. I fly EMS now and I certainly don't see our nurses (pilots for that matter too) concerned about wanting to take pay cuts to undercut the competition.

There is only one kind of person that would suggest limiting or cutting pilot salaries. Management type.

Now that's irony right there. imp:

How childish. By the way, I DID offer to take a pay cut, to minimize the furloughs. Management said it wouldn't help, because we were simply overstaffed.

HONESTLY!!! Someone PLEASE explain to me WHY PILOTS HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT THAT CONCESSIONS DO NOT SAVE JOBS!?!



Where have you been the last 20 years? When was the last time a pilot offered up his salary and management didn't furlough anyway?

What happens when a concession is offered? The 4Q SEC filings show that the CEO managed to save the company $200 million in salaries, so the BOD gives him a nice $200 million bonus.

STOP GIVING MANAGEMENT YOUR HARD EARNED SALARY!!! GROW UP!!!
