US ONSHORE 2016
Haha....they really must be joking (and desperate). Let's announce US onshoring now, just as they are beginning to get just a 'little' bit nervous with the reaction from the yank pilots...and those who have already put in their resignations.
What a fatuous, pathetic and desperate move. They seem to have missed the point that by doing this they are making things even LESS appealing for those of us considering staying or leaving. Not only did we take a 7 % pay cut Jan of this year, but by onshoring, we will be subject to a FURTHER 7 % pay cut due to increased SSN and Medicare taxes.
They really don't get it do they? The GMA needs to have look at the pay scales and benefits of REAL US airlines (not the commuters...) and see that we are already far behind in compensation by comparison. It will only be far more glaring once we are onshore.
My vote is in. CC...can hardly wait. What a pathetic organization this airlines is beneath the surface.
