What Can New Pilots Make? Near Minimum Wage
Finally someone is pointing at the problem of pay instead of pretending like the country needs to make more pilots. There is a large supply and it's finally time the demand rises. (finance.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
we can wee just split the difference, and give these guys a break, 750 would still be high, but at least that's reachable for some.
Shrinkage happens
Word on the street is that Republic will take them all, that this was pretty much a well thought out deal and fore ordained. It also coincides with Republic signing the teamsters contract Friday after 6 years, which will give increases and put them above everybody money wise.
You just can't say that Envoy pilots didn't get first shot at those jobs. Their union rejected the work on their behalf (without even giving the pilots a vote). The pilots committee had negotiated in good faith over the past couple months, then the union didn't even allow them to vote.
I wouldn't put AA taking Plan B (Republic) on management. That was all the Union MEC's doing.
It always blows my mind when workers are getting the highest pay and benefits in their category, and still make a fuss (often through union intermediators) about the best nit being good enough.
When there are thousands (or millions or billions in some cases) willing to take the work for the same or less, sometimes settling for the best might not be settling at all. It might just be prudent.

I still want to be a pilot.
I can't wait till it all implodes!!! The bottom feeder regionals will fold, the majors will come to the realization that the cheapest isn't sustainable, the good regionals will charge more and costs will skyrocket. We will be paying $1500 for a round trip ticket between NY and Cleveland, $4000 for last minute. Corporate travel expenses will quadruple at best and corporate jets sales will be at an all time high!!!!!!!
