Personally, AC pilot union gets zero support from me unless they remove the deadheading pilots can bump passengers from J nonsense. This is the typical I am more important than you move.
During previous labour negotiations, this board was full of "the market will pay what the market will bear."
It's time to pay up.
Senior captains, get paid less than senior executives.
Not all senior pilots are captains.
Let's talk about the low wages that comprise the first 4? years of the pay scale.
That's where a lot of pilots are at the moment.
Pilots in J is a negotiated benefit. Feel free to join the negotiating team and try to get rid of it.
In my opinion, the only employees that shouldn't be in J are the marketing department and the executive team.
