Does anyone else find it strange that you have to attend the RDFO "TEAMS meeting" to get the latest scoop on the new pay increases?  Just please email it already!

This is something that needs to be done "in person". It's such a huge departure from current practice and for some a very big change. Additionally, this gives everyone a chance to ask questions and interact.

14% pay raise with a 40K bonus if stay 3 years. 20K if stay 2 years

AMC will give us 3 percent 2 years from now.  the only explanation is that they want you to leave.  Make a smaller foot print.  The ones that stay behind will be over worked and accidents will increase   Before you know it we will look to SF for a safety culture.  

Where can I sign up?

Best way to keep people that are un happy is to throw more money at them....   the money will not fix the broken company.  

It will be interesting to see how the maintenance side responds to this. I understand all they got was the 3% annual increase. MTC along with the other GMR companies are short mechanics just like pilots. I can see a lot of highly compensated pilots working shifts with OOS aircraft. 

What?

Your comment just proves the pilots will complain about anything. A 14 percent increase in pay and you don't have to do a single thing but show up to work 180 days a year.   

no dues to be "represented" no nothing. Just do your job and you get paid for it.  Heck, a guy who just got hired last month is now going to be making more than $85,000 a year as starting pay and yet there's complaints.  

That's your normal left/woke response.

Year. Not including workovers, training on your week off, and filling in for your relief when they take vacation.

Not to mention that if you are the only pilot at a base, you work 14 hour days until they find the next base pilot. 
Fact.

$85k bahahahha..... 

I doubt they would have been able to make changes to benifits or at least it's easier to wait for open enrollment. They are likely looking at it now that it's July. We are 4 months away from open enrollment. My hope is to see a premium decrease......

Remember that bonuses are also taxed at a higher tax rate. You will be look at half the bonus in actual take home pay. 

Remember that a bar of gold can be dropped on your toe and break it. To those ever unhappy whiners, who will never be satisfied, go away.

That's the problem with these companies and peoples inability to know the history of how there companies operate. unions may suck, but at least they give you some dependability and guarantees with a contract. Not the first time these games have been played in the aviation world. Be prepared And don't say you weren't warned.

notice GMR didn't publish a new pay scale? Only a pay range for starting pay. Seems like that's what AMC did last time....apples don't fall from their tree. 

Don't listen to any of these whiners.   The GMR pay increase is great and right on time.   I appreciate their efforts to make us happier and fill the open positions.   Much better than anything I was offered at Air Methods.  

when union toads croak, croak, croak.  I've never had a non-union pay scale be reduced. Ever.

I took the job with GMR last year mostly due to the offer being close to 10% higher than Metro.  Now I am over 20% higher.  Best decision ever. GMR is amazing!

To be fair no company every specifically published their exact pay ranges, usually that info gets leaked out over time.
