My thoughts

All I can hope for is the arbritrator is aware of their continued middle finger toward seniority. But then again it sounds like management is hedging the bet he doesn't care. I hope the naysayers and prognosticators are wrong and management has no reason to be confident. These are nervous times for us all. Hope we find out soon enough.

So how did NetJets solve the problem? Same payscale for the line pilots. Work more ,get paid more.

Inherent safety issues... think about it... that's a stupidly shortsighted plan.

Let me clarify. OT only for LEGAL duty/flight time. Pay at a daily rate, work more days, make more money, but then again, who wants to work more right now when they are treating treating us with such distain?

When you give an opportunity for hustlers to hussle it drags down the whole profession. How about we work on getting decently paid on reasonable hours and be on par with industry standards?

Then and only then should we be discussing pleasing the hustlers.

Exactly

Limit the number of days of OT(12) and no additional pay after 14 hours. For a start. Pay at this places been a problem for years. I wonder what the owners would think if they knew they were being charged the industry standard and 2N was pocketing the difference?

Most wouldn't give a crap until it started impacting them directly i.e.: new hires with no Prior Jet experience or ATP.
Then they might be concerned or at least should be, especially at the rate experienced pilots are leaving the company for greener pastures.

Most owners don't have a clue about that stuff.

So you are Captain X and are about to let the owners know about it?
