Tell Timmay to f@#$ off

....In addition, management is seeking cuts in hourly rates of pay for the remaining B-717 pilots that range from a 16-year Captain scale of $83.53/hour and top out at a 19-year Captain scale of $86.33/hour, while First Officer scales top out at 8 years paying $37.01/hour.....

If we accept this we deserve the state this industry is in.

The fuel expense DWARFS pilot labor costs. This is a simple example of using the situation to RAPE your employees.

That is insane!

8 year FO on the 717 only going for $37 bucks an hour!! WTF

 

[TheJCNIs]

If this is what they want I think we as a group should turn in 396 letters of resignations and tell them to run the airline now!

 

[Secret Squirrel]

And then you would see 396 "fellow aviators" willing to take the job because of the QUICK UPGRADE! We are killing ourselves. The skywest contractors are going to make more money then the mainline they feed.

this is a proposal. we need to vote 100% no. we already gave concessions, no more.

signed,
"self interested" furloughed pilot

 

[deadstick]

That blows.

I just checked APC and looked at the posted rates for MidEx and NWA. And Timmy wants to go to THAT!?!?

He's nuts!

Any other info in that letter?

He should waive his pay for at least the next year FIRST since he just took the $10M payoff.

The company is getting in position for a Chapter 11 filing. This proposal will be the one they try to get the bankruptcy judge to cram up your butts if they don't liquidate the company. I feel for you guys; you are right in the middle of a big s$%t sandwich. The airline industry has become a very nasty place.

 

[Taildragon]

Shut it down

 

[ultrarunner]

Looks essentially like cutting the pay rates in half! Incredible.

I'd agree...looks like a set up for TPG to close it down.

I'd agree with Citation...if the pilot group passes that proposal, no sympathy.

But if I recall, shortly after 9/11, didn't the MEC pass a wage-cut without a membership vote? Has the pilot group gotten rid of that loophole?
