"The pilots, who fly for one of the world's biggest airlines, have been working without a raise for more than four years while negotiating with airline management over a new contract. "
Big deal. There are a LOT of people that have not gotten raises in 4 years.
These people average $332,100 (widebody) and $267,300 (narrow body) a year to work the equivalent of 43% of what most people consider full time (900 hours) to do a job where a computer does 95 percent of the work and they cry about it.
"We made quite a few sacrifices during the pandemic, and we feel it is now time for the company to step up to the plate and to give us a contract, acknowledging the sacrifices and the contributions that we have made," said pilot Arzu Delp, as he picketed at San Francisco International Airport.
Oh please!!! They think the airline owes them for doing their job? How about the fact the airline kept them employed while flying practically empty aircraft?
"They always have 'work to rule.' They could say, 'We're not working any overtime,'" Wheaton said. "I don't anticipate the pilots trying to screw up travel for everybody intentionally, but bargaining is about leverage and power ... having the ability to do that can be a negotiating tactic."
What these greedy bastards call "overtime" is a normal work week for almost anybody else.
