Us Airways Pilots Rate Of Pay

No point, you can compare it to the other majors
 
Doesn't matter. All of them will be Jetblue rates when it's said and done. Yes, flying rubber dog sh*t out of Hong Kong will be the highest paying pilot jobs. Likewise, fixing the planes that fly rubber dog Deleted By Moderator out of Hong Kong will pay mechanics the most.
 
15+ year FO u pilot on B737 = 104
15+ year FO SW pilot on B737 = 118

Interesting difference, add to that the fact that SW pilots have
Captain slots long before the 15 year point and i believe they
average fewer days per month to achieve their pay

heard of one lucky very senior SW pilot who retired @ market peak and received
$10 Million from his stock options. i am sure that must be the unusual exception.
 
It puts us alittle below the average. How bought a sight that shows mx., cleaners, and rampers.
 
just curious, what percentage pay cuts were imposed on u employees and were the benefits gutted as well?

In viewing the pilot rates of pay across airlines, two things stood out.

1. Rate were all over the place. Some entry level rates were obscenely low.

2. The LCC's were noy only lower but like their fare structures were of a "One Size Fits all" nature.

The second observation seems to be the area were US could consolidate and streamline the pilot rate structure. Also interesting is the entry F/O rate for US was among the highest. Could? Givien the age of the pilot group be a way for long term savings without to much pain for the current group?
Piney. You sense the real problem. The lowest time pilot at U has approaching 16 years on the property...most airline pay rates max out at 10 to 12 years. So applying any other pay scale with a years of service rise pretty much puts every pilot at U at the top of any scale. Wish we could all be a little younger to counteract that fact! Also, back in 97, the U pilots ageed to put the Airbus(a few minor differences, now gone with C11),MD80, and 73 aircraft under one payscale. That right there saved a lot of training moves. The 757 stayed with the 767 payscale, since it was a common cockpit duel bid situation. The F-100 and group 4 payscales (F28, maybe BAC 146) don't really even matter since they are gone. U is almost there. If the 73's and 75/76 are replaced with AB, U mainline could truly be down to about 2 payscales.....widebody and narrowbody. Hope we live to see that day. Best. Greeter.

This thread is POINTLESS!!!! Poster, just happened to quote your post. All previous posters to this thread: WHO CARES WHAT PILOTS MAKE!!!!!!!!! This is a ridiculous argument!!i Could care less what a pilot/FO make, thats their business, and is what their union negotiated for them. This thread is CLASS ENVY at its worst!!!!! Worry about what is before us(f/a,maint.etc)STOP the class envy bullshit!!!!
 
you do know that when and if they sell out to dave and bye bye the 737's and those evil mechanics take down the company...they have the uniform to work as skycaps.
 
Folks,

America West is what USAirways management wants U employees to transform into. America West employees did not have to take concessions to qualify for the ATSB. Their rates of pay and benefits are at one of the bottom of the bottoms.

I agree. Who cares what a cleaner makes.
