so what's behind the loyalty plan?
its looking like PAL doesnt want to worry about crew in the wide body A340's and B747's leaving to fly with other airlines so maybe its only these crew who are being offered the new incentive(loyalty contract). almost everyone in the narrow-bodies are tied up with training contracts so thats not much of a problem. when the wide-bodies ,most of whom are not hampered with a training contract, decide to leave then PAL will have a hard time looking for replacements and have to bear the lost income waiting to get these replacements qualified.
the sad thing is if all the pilots sign the contract then PAL is hassle-free for the next 5 years in terms of the exodus because they would be scared to get hit with a law suit(read tsuper's quote). and then there won't be any need to give in to whatever benefits or pay increases that the pilots ask for within this period.
face it.the only reason PAL has been plugging in more pay increases and benefits is because they are trying (in very little ways) to stave the exodus.this may all stop if they have all your signatures.
thanks for the support rjmore.welcome to the group.
