APA - NJASAP
11.11.14
Fellow NJASAP Member,
I would like to begin by thanking our colleagues at the Allied Pilots Association (APA), who have
graciously allowed us to share their salary and benefit comparison presentation with you. We are
providing this information not as an outline of specific bargaining goals, but as an education resource.
Allied developed this document for its members to enable them to objectively compare their collective
bargaining agreement with those of other mainline carrier. With any document of this type, certain
assumptions were made for ease of comparison. As an example, it is unlikely there is a 767/777
captain with 12 years seniority at many of the carriers listed. Nevertheless, a review of the insurance
benefits, vacation accrual, retirement plans and work rule comparisons will prove quite illuminating.
For those who have never been employed by a scheduled carrier, it is important to note the salary
structure is significantly different than ours. Scheduled carrier compensation systems are based on
salary per flight hour with a minimum number of guaranteed hours each month. In addition to a
monthly guarantee, there are a myriad of compensation enhancements known as duty rigs and
overrides. As a general rule of thumb, you can estimate the annual salary at any scheduled carrier by
multiplying their hourly rate by 1082. Because our salaries, as you know, are based on a daily rate
with certain enhancements for schedule and duty offsets (e.g., hourly overtime, extended days and
holidays), it is difficult to make a direct comparison.
While the APA document deftly compares pay and benefit packages, it fails to address quality of life
issues. For example, crash pads, commuting, actual line and base changes due to equipment choices
are not addressed, but certainly factor into the equation. This comparison document is the first in a
series that we intend to make available to the pilot group. Please take a few minutes to study it
because you never really know if you are getting a good deal unless you have the ability to compare it
to something else. As always, please do not hesitate to contact the Negotiating Committee with any
questions.
In solidarity,
Mike Pascalar
Lead Negotiator

SENIORITY INTEGRATION TIMELINE
The seniority integration process consistent with McCaskill-Bond shall begin as soon as possible after the effective
date.
If 90 days after the effective date there is not an acceptable agreement through direct negotiations:
1. A panel of three neutral arbitrators will be designated within 15 days to resolve the dispute.
2. Arbitration proceedings will commence no later than 60 days after the designation of the arbitrators or as soon as
practicable given the arbitrators’ availability.
3. In no event shall the seniority arbitration proceeding commence prior to final approval of the JCBA.
4. The arbitrators will render their award within six months of the commencement of arbitration but not later than
24 months after the effective date.
5. The arbitrators’ award is binding and FINAL on APA, USAPA and American Airlines.
This chart represents three processes that will be running simultaneously, but JCBA must be complete before Integrated
Seniority List is completed.
