Your proposal would get laughed out of the room.
Southwest just got 30% overnight plus another 20% over five years. Cathay publically admitting they stuffed up pilot numbers during COVID and the shortage is killing them - they’re parking frames!
12%? Yeah, nah.
You need to read my last post in context of my previous one.
Basically, pure $$ isn’t going to cut it - the tax system is making sure of that.
They can keep their $$ but I want an extra 3 days off a month, minimum….and I don’t want to be at work for 3 days for 9 hrs credit….and I don’t want to be sitting in a crew room waiting two hours for an aeroplane for zero $$…and I don’t want to be paxing somewhere for 50% credit…and I don’t want to be at work for a day for one hour pay if I’m paxing to pick up flying that’s been built out of my base when it shouldn’t have etc.
I can guarantee those changes I want would cost them far more than 3%. That’s the point I was trying to make, albeit poorly perhaps.
