Announced yesterday...
No pay increase for the A321. Not surprising, but just another of the 1000 little cuts that make the decision to move on to a Big-Boy Airline that much easier.
So we pay less for the 190, but now that the bigger airplane is on the way, no more money. I'm sure if the 319/318 showed up instead of the 190, they would have paid the same as the 320.....
From our "advocate" Chief Pilot:
As we've reiterated many times, it is our goal to pay you competitively, and to do so, we need to adopt pay structures that are competitive with our peers. With that in mind, and given our upcoming delivery of new aircraft, we are planning a single pay rate for the entire A320 family of aircraft (A319/A320/A321)
Now pay attention, BlueBelles:
"...it is our goal to pay you competitively..."
Anyone remember when the goal was Industry Average? Interesting how the language has changed.
And how does one define "competitively"? It is yet another moving target whose strings are firmly controlled by ELT, Flight Ops, F&H, and MWW. Industry average goes up 18.3% next year alone. Too bad the goal is no longer average but competitive.
And Lucy yanks the football away yet again...suckers.
