Whatever you negotiate. And you should negotiate high, because each step 'increase' is way behind inflation. You are basically getting a paycut each year...

get more money. screw the rest of his malarky. inflation rates vary. never heard of a pay scale based on inflation probably because one doesn't exist. the pay may not keep up with inflation but a pay increase is a pay increase. a lot of companies don't give raises at all. to say you're getting a pay cut is idiotic nonsense uttered by a moron. |

And people wonder why pay is so low in the helicopter industry... it's because of losers like this guy. Obviously inflation varies year to year, but the commonly accepted average is about 3% per year. Anyone with half a brain is looking for a pay increase of at least 3.5% a year. |

Back in the day, at a different colored helicopter company, we used to get a pay raise (step increase) and also they gave us a cost of living adjustment mid year to adjust for increased cost of living. ... As it should be. A step increase isn't supposed to be an attempt to keep you up with inflation, its supposed to increase your quality of life as you continue to work with the company. Using the posted scale and the actual inflation rates, the pay should have went up at least $15,000 to keep up with the last 5 years cost of living (for a step one IFR captain). The actual pay increase on the chart is way less than half of that. So, the argument that a step increase is supposed to offset inflation doesn't hold any water. Plus, for those that are at the top of the scale, they are effectively losing money every year they work. I only use the last 5 years in this particular case because we haven't gotten a cost of living adjustment for several years. I know.... A company can't pay money they don't have, bankruptcy, etc... But, as an employee, in an ideal world, I would expect to increase my quality of life the longer I work for a company, not have a harder time paying the same bills. I don't think that is unreasonable to ask. |

Lets look at this another way. Using actual numbers, and knowing there will be no pay scale adjust or inflation adjustment, I've got another 20 years or so flying left (with the major assumption that there will still be this type of flying then). I look at the pay scale and it says it tops out at $143,750. That doesn't look so horrible. But when adjusted for inflation (based on historical data), that $143,750 will only be equivalent to $93,041 in today's dollars. Happily spending a career to bring home less buying power than when you started is insane |

A good idea what you mean by wage slave. But I am not sure. Could you define what you mean? |

My mindset is to have a carreer that I love and make enough money to retire before I'm too old to be able to enjoy retirement. |

Buying power has to increase. I remember late sixties through the eighties. Almost no pay raises at all. |
