Yes, health care may cost a little more, but you are complaining about working less for the same or more money? Come on. Do you actually want to work significantly more hours at a lower hourly rate. Under that logic, you would be willing to work overtime for less than regular pay.
The new contract provides for 2x pay on greenslips over ALV or 75 hours, whichever is lower. That's better than 1.5 for over 80. It's a huge improvement, accept it for what it's worth.
Is it in the NWA culture to complain about everything? It's ok to smile and enjoy things some times. It's alright to be happy when something good happens. If I buy a round on a layover can I expect the former NWA guys to complain because the beer is too free, too cold and served by a waitress that is too pretty, whose waist is too skinny and whose b... are too large.
Ok, done venting. Now lets drink that free, cold beer that the captain is buying.
From a NWA guy. The pay raise is a big QOL improvement, and YES I would definitely work less for the same pay. Although I don't think it is a myth that we didn't get a pay raise.
Times are good right now, but knowing what I know, and experiencing what I have experienced, trouble is always looming around the corner.
Look forward to getting the SLI behind us. Happy days are here...for now.
