No news in the email YET because "the fleet" are still out door-knocking on Thursday night in an unprecedented display of good relations and high spirits, delivering the good news personally to all 3800 or whatever pilots face to face. Caring and sharing and paying big bucks all over again to show how much they love their pilots.


God I love this place.


Whitey, that's called irony. Try to keep up.

Profit share = GIVE

TAKE = announce "any" increase later than the 14th so that it is a month less paid at that rate as it will be paid a month later.

Don't fool yourself into thinking the announcement date has any impact on what date the new rates take effect. If they want the new pay amount to start this month it will.

I'd probably go with the opposite that no matter when the announcement comes, if they only want pay to increase from July, it will.

Sadly...

Your first revised pay will be on the May pay check. In very, very rare circumstances the new pay is only revealed a few months later but the amount is then back-dated to May.

You have actually been earning your new salary for the last three weeks, you just don't know what it is yet.....

I recall payraise being done in May showing up on June pay Profit share being announced in April showing up on the May pay
If you go into HR Direct and look at your history of contract adjustment letters you will see that the pay review is consistently dated in may. Don't have to be an astronaut to figure that out.

You have actually been earning your new salary for the last three weeks, you just don't know what it is yet.....
That is because they need you to go the extra mile but dont want to demoralize anyone before it is absolutely necessary.

Of course they have already decided on the new pay scales. If they are to be demoralizing it would have made more sense to announce it before the profit share announcement.

Care to share? After all this is a rumour network, isn't it?

Tons of rumors. Like the 30%, but with flying upped to 100 hours a month? It is all over the board, you can only speculate and wait at this point. Isn't that the fun part this time of year?

Heard same as above... Except it would be voluntary.

That is those who want to stay on current would ...and those who wanted the 100 hrs per month with associated 10k pay raise could.

To nullify any suggestion that it was imposed.

Interesting.

Do NOT SHOOT the rumor spreader pls...it's just a rumor.

I'm doing 92 hours now, so not much difference there. Or do you mean 1,200 a year? Not that I want to give them any ideas... (And I can't see the GCAA going for that.)

Well, they have left a vacuum and it is being filled with speculation that runs the spectrum: crappy to great news coming.

Give a couple of pilots a few hours in cruise and voila, a new rumour is born! Before long it morphs into 'fact'.

If you are at work today, start a new one and see how long it takes to get back to you! It's good to have a hobby!

100 hours a month, a modest pay rise but free coffin

100 hours/month .... that's a recipe for disaster. And a quick way to the grave!!

90 hrs a month
100 hrs a month
200 hrs a month (in jest)

Apart from the obvious extra flying in that month,
You guys and Girls would still be capped to the GCAA maximum of 900hr a year
