EDIT: Nevermind, not worth my time.

That's okay, John. I saw it before you deleted it. I'll send you an email when I have time later.

And I would assume that you can see the Big Picture™ and voted no as well...

Yes I see the bigger picture. Problem it is hard to explain to the younger new hires.

Tracy was at the training facility yesterday talking to instructors to give them a better idea about the pay package.

Not allowing someone to vote, isn't that unAmerican?

But seriously, why shouldn't new pilots at a non-Union shop not be allowed to vote?

Nope.

Wow!

Voter disenfranchisement is probably one of the most American things you can do. Especially if you're rich and white.

IOW, you voted no.

I care about this answer.

This is hilarious, but highly accurate - you forgot to add male to that list too.

Wait, wait, I've seen this, on Newsnight with Will McAvoy!

I'd like to hear it too @jtrain609

Wuss. You disappoint me, Barrister.

LOA 72 sealed the deal for me and I voted no!

I had the distinct privilege of explaining my vote to the VP of Flight Operations today. As it turns out, it was Captains Peterson and Jacobie and NOT the Company that decided FOs contributions to profitability were worth 70% of a Captain's contribution. Thanks, guys.

 

[Seggy]

Should everyone be paid the same?

I don't get the vitriol regarding that. IF you view the PPS as part of pay, then it makes sense to divide it up as it is, with more to CAs than FOs. If, however, you view the PPS as a bonus program that shouldn't even be discussed when it comes to a pay package, as I do, then it doesn't. So really, the argument should be whether or not a variable PPS constitutes pay/a raise and should even be on the table, not how it's divided up.

On this one, yes.

I don't consider it pay.

I consider it incentive compensation.

 

[Seggy]

On this one, yes.

Can you take the vagueness out and explain what is going on with your angst about the 70% comment?

Should everyone be paid the same?

Yes. Profit sharing should be shared evenly among the group. It's an incentive. I'm sorry, captains are NOT more productive than me when it comes to company financial performance. If both a captain and I credit 950 hours for the year (he's already making more money as a captain than I am), he shouldn't make 74% more money than me in a company financial incentive.
