2006 Predictions
Well, in light of the fact that I accurately predicted that WJ would reduce their minimum hour requirement, why not opine on the state of the industry moving forward. List your predictions here!
1 big one from me:
-Pilot pay will go up in 2006. AC, WJ, and Jazz pilot contracts are all up for negotiation in one form or another next year. Jazz will lead the way with a pay hike as they experience a continued shortage of qualified applicants. WJ will follow, with mainline AC the wildcard. If anything, AC will see better conditions for senior drivers with newhire pay unchanged.
