Can you tell us how you get to 350k? You can’t just go any Management with random numbers. Even the union will give you funny looks. Stop wasting everyone’s time. Yes, everyone would love to be on such wages, but that isn’t the focus, the focus is getting the toys back that got taken away. The future for this entire pilot group rests on getting those toys back. I can’t reiterate enough how important this agreement is to the current and future VA Pilots, to who don’t even have a license yet. This is the most important negotiation I’ve seen for a long time, needless to say, the short to long term prospects for this group, is pretty grim if you vote in trash.

When looking at 2018 with all the adjustments to CPI, inflation and so forth since then, at the top end it’s 320-330. And that’s a miracle result. The acceptable figure adjusting for the averages that got approved in 2018, is 290k.

So you really want this 350k? If you get the 2018 deal back plus average increases since, you will crack your 350k in 2032, and perhaps even sooner. If you accept what’s on offer today, you will get your 350k in the 2040s
