Why? The company agreed in March that the rate per hour that we fly is appropriate- heck, they were the ones that set the rate, allowed virtually no room for negotiation, and insisted we needed to sign off on it quickly. The only way there should be a ‘pay reduction’ is if we physically fly less hours.

42 Captains got a 20-25% pay cut in 2015 when they were demoted with the retirement of the 767.

In 2019 an A330 Captain working a 180 divisor every BP earns about $352K. Depending on the route structure flown that was 850+ hours. There wouldn’t have been an A330 line Captain with a pay starting with a 4 unless they’d worked multiple BLs and were assigned well over +5 on more than one of them.
