UsAirways/AA pay parity?

[KiddDynomite]

So what's the word on pay parity with Delta & UA for the New American and how long can one expect to sit reserve?

"pay parity" review in 2016.

Company has the option to negotiate with us after APA is certified. If they dont want to lock in rates now (in exchange for scope most likely) we get up to a max of 40 million in contract improvements via arbitration. That's it.

Reserve is 6-12 months. CLT being the worst.

No scope! I don't mind waiting 12 months for pay parity. If delta signs a new contract parity will be higher than posted in MOU. No scope!

Reserve in PHX is 10 years. I think that's a little worse than CLT.

We have a base in PHX??? I thought that was Mesa that flys out there.

The reality is it doesn't look like a good deal unless you're under 40 plus the pay cut of the first year and trying to make parity with a current salary it's not a good move. The future looks bright for the younger guys though!

Ha ha ha! Do me a favor and stop striking the tails on OUR aircraft.

Do not forget the v speeds also...

 

[zasca]

Oh right, whatever. Not many newbies getting PHX...

gotta love that 3rd lister attitude. All those "sand people" deserve to be junior to you right? But I understand your poor attitude after years of being sh#t on at a US Airways wholly owned.

What I find ironic is you are now sucking up to the very pilots who wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire back when you flew a DHC-8. It must be a real treat listening to all the stories about the glory days. Do the Captains let you shine their shoes during layovers?

 

[KiddDynomite]

Back to the spirit of the thread. I do not see it as worthwhile for someone 45 or older to make the move. The pay cut is just too great. Back to our regularily schedule gang fight.

7000 retirements in next 10yrs. Pay cut for 2-3 years maybe . I would jump on the chance to get in on this hiring cycle. We all took pay cuts once just part of the game .

Its not worthwhile if you're over 25 unless you thrive in the coming toxic work environment. Better career opportunities exist elsewhere.

I would come here Monday through Saturday and twice on Sunday. All of the flame throwers (myself embarrassingly included, on rare occasion) will be shrinking in numbers and the tremendous volume of new pilots will have considerable influence defining the identity of the pilot group. Just stay on the sidelines of the poop fight and don't let any one group try to convince you to take up their fight moving forward. Take pride in the company but most of all take pride in what you do....it will equate to a great career at AA and more importantly, it will be one you enjoy.

Where are you based?
