Fleet Size..
Um do you get a doctor cheaper if he is the only doc in the practice?
Or a lawyer that practices "x" law, is that lawyer any cheaper b/c they are not part of a firm?
Next time you rent a piece of construction equipment (or vehicle for that matter) tell them you won't pay as much b/c they only have one high-low or one flat bed truck.
Fleet size has absolutely no relevancy. If you commercially operate a piece of equipment or aircraft, there is a minimum cost a manger should expect to perform that operation. Some call it the minimum cost of doing business in a layman's terms.
Ah, I am wasting my time.. Let me just disagree with you and say that when a DC-9 rotates with 20000 pounds of screws or 90 souls the pilots have to been trained to a certain standard, have a skill level and most importantly experience level to make money with that aircraft. USAJ is not willing to put pay at an appropriate level, so you will lose quality pilots for one of those reasons listed above. From what I hear, many have or are about to begin speaking with their feet around there. And for a guy who posted "I have to speak up when cry baby's threaten my job" the fact that the people who are directly responsible for actually generating the revenue on the front line are being constantly screwed with by managemnet should be very concerning to you as a fellow employee. Also as pilots react and quit b/c of this treatment, the company will be forced to have new-hires during this challenging environment... dude that’s your $$$ going to pilot training costs that could be avoided.
As far as a Union, I stated above less turnover is less training of multiple people to do a job the company already spent the money training someone else to do. A contract gives management fixed costs for the many years to come. It gives pilots the knowledge of the exact minimum amount of money and benefits to count on each month. I see it as a two way street, so should the Democrats running this company. As of right now the pilots aren't unionized but lets say all the pilots collectively decide to line up out side of Fred's desk and get their turn to ask for a raise or they quit. That is perfectly legal, and quite frankly very likely. Every person that quits has a price, would the comapny rather make the pilot happy or train a new one with no experience?
Ah enough Union 101, I'll let you take your turn at sharing the evils of having defined rules and compensation that are comparative to other professionals doing the same job.
Good Day!
