757 Captain pays $93-$95 an hour?! You've got to be kidding me!

Get a clue, they're talking about F/O pay.

You have to understand - those of us w/ the 8" dicks, laugh at the 5" dicks comparing themselves to the 4.5" dicks-

USAIR is dragging down the industry for a decade and that's all that matters-

Sorry if I'm laughing at you, but mine's 8 3/4" :beer:

Give me a break. United have about the same rate. A few bucks more with a much lower guarantee plus 1000 plus furloughed. United is Alpa.
Usair has been a great career for many. Overall earnings outmatch most. To bad the last 8 years had to end on a low note.

Mine's 5 1/8.

It always pleases me though!

Yeah, but there are a lot of women out there that want a big, thick,.........wallet.

Haha-

M/- seems you're stuck in a time capsule a decade ago-
United's your example? Its pay does suck but not a high bar- they lost two hulls in 9/11 and still make 10% more than you-
And by all signs, they'll have a JCBA before you- and if they pull crap like you- they'll be getting the same earful-
The difference is you TURNED DOWN HIGHER PAY, AND CONTINUE TO SAY YOU'RE WILLING TO UNDERCUT EVERYONE FOR 6+ years-
That's a big diff IMO

It is more then Westicles get paid.

I think the upward movement, lack of furloughs and a the total stagnation out west proves how important it is to remain separate. New hires would become furlough fodder if the lists would ever get combined.

First of all, if you are a gainfully employed US Airways pilot and have access to WINGS: You can go to the Flight Operations section.

In that section you can read the following documents in PDF format: The AWA contract, the AAA Contract, LOA 93, etc.

According to these documents AWA Captain's top out at $141.85/hr, and FO's top out at $93.61/hr. There is also a $4.00/$3.00 per hour kicker for HI/Intl (Cosa Rica), so TECHNICALLY the FO going to Hawaii is getting $96.61 in the B757, so that definitely is better than the PHL B757 driver going to Shannon @ the "93- $95 per hour" (our pay is for all fleets, BTW).

If you are comparing, you really should count in the NB FO pay on the east: $85.00/hr (also these are rates for pilots with at least 12-15 years of time on property).

We get 1 for 2 Duty, 1 for 3:45 TAFB Rig, 4 weeks vacation, full DH pay & full cancellation pay.

For every year that you insist on remaining on LOA93 your Captains give up (at least) $45,000.00 in lost wages, time off and other contract improvements.

The beauty of a contract vote? We each get ONE vote, and you can do that in the privacy of your home. No one will know which way you vote. So, if Parker offers the current AWA contract + current DAL Fleet wages....would you vote for it? I probably would.

LURKERS: Are you tired of USAPA's losses? Are you tired of LOA93? Are you now convinced that SSM&P could not produce the "slam dunk" of DOH? Are you ready for a POSITIVE change?

1. Become a member in good standing.
2. Become informed and read court documents & proceedings.
3. Become involved and ask questions of your USAPA representatives.
4. Prepare to vote for the general elections.
5. If you have the time and skill set, please volunteer.
6. Prepare to vote on a contract proposal; DO NOT accept the proposal unless you think it is the very best that the company can put out.
7. Be vocal with USAPA and with the company.

Just to be a fair comparison, the 93-95 per hour was for the pilots on the 8-9 year payscale. So a West FO would be making 87-88 per hour... Add in the intl. override and technically a West FO going to Hawaii is making LESS than that pilot going to Shannon...

Yeah but the beer is real expensive in Hawaii. How much is it in Shannon? Thats the real question.
