Senior management has been locked up with union reps for the pilots since 2016. This means wages are not going up, even for entry level. Pilots are finding other opportunities elsewhere as wages and benefits are really behind the average. The lastest proposal was not even close to adequate, so the pilot union voted it down. With the recent tax reduction on corporate america, you would think that management would give out more benefits to its members. But they also wanted to increase the premiums for health care. The corporate management was already making yearly bonuses and such, now they will make more money. Since karma is present... the management will learn that waiting to settle the contract AFTER its expired LAST 2 TIMES, does not help... especially since the tax cuts have been approved. Now they basically have no option but approve nice benefits.
