Why are USAir folk still making significantly less than everyone else?

[Guppiedriver]

The same reason why America West made less than everyone else back in the day.

Fixed it for you.

USAPA is a joke of a union.

That's a fact Jack!

Because the pickleballers refused to implement the BINDING arbitration they agreed to beforehand.

They shot themselves in the foot, then realized they had a second foot (their pay) and shot themselves again.

HA HA, that's damn funny. If they can find their dick's that'll be next.

So True and really funny!! :laugh:

What did I say? It's allllll someone else's fault. Management was willing to offer Delta plus pay after the seniority list was announced to help them with their merger intentions. That train already left the station and we weren't on it. Who's fault was it? If you're an eastie, go look in the mirror, then bend over and get someone to repeatedly kick you in the arse.

The only time Delta plus pay was offered was when Parker tried to buy Delta.

My only guess as to why you guys make less to fly an A330 than Airtran guys get paid to fly a 737 is that it has something to do with waiting for closure on the seniority list before being able to negotiate a contract.

Is there any other reason? Some regionals pay more to fly their CRJ's than USAir pays to fly the Embraer and it's starting to get pretty sad.

Somebody clue me in. It's been years now at that payscale.

So stay at ASA Abernathy.

AAA pilots think it is the 1980's and can only think in these terms. They are unable to adjust their logic to a new era and want to do everything the "OLD" way. Most of USAPA policy is about the past, not the future.

It's very simple really. It's called "Divide and Conquer."

Parker is only playing the hand that the pilots are giving him. I'm not defending the man, but that is the system we work under. Management almost always has the upper hand.

Now, I will say this, if Parker really wanted to put an end to the debacle, he probably could. But the profits for him and his shareholders are simply too sweet to get off this gravy train.

 

[Flybywire44]

The truth is US Air's current situation is meaningless to the coming generation of pilots. The problems will be fixed in the long run through attrition or a merger—a pilot group like American could easily set a new tone with their over whelming voting power.

So stay at ASA Abernathy.

Was an honest question, dick.
