Top rate....

[FatherBrown]

So I've been driving about 6 months now. Tried searching for this but didn't really find anything but I was under the impression when I get to top rate in 3.5 years I'd be making 33.01/hour, but a steward (who isn't a driver) told me the other day it would be like $36 something when I reach top rate..so is he correct? Does top rate go up every year?

Depends on your supplement Im pretty sure, anyone else know for sure?

But yes it has gone up in my area a little each contract.

 

[jaker]

Yes and yes he is right , all the info you need is in a little book called contract book

Progression does suck but the light at the end of the tunnel (top rate) makes it all worth while and, yes, top rate goes up each and every year. The jump can be as high as $10/hr.

Seniority also sucks...........unless you have it.

Yes, by the time you reach top rate we should be over $36/hr. (just don't feel like doing the math right now.)

You are entitled to the top rate of pay at the end of your progression, until then you stay at the progression rates. $19.50@1yr/$21@2yr/$25@3yr these are paid at your senority date each yr. After 4yrs you should be at $35.37 until Aug1,2017 when it goes to $36.37.

Almost right, 2017 raise is broken up into August and February.

In my area Top rate in 3 1/2 years will be $36.16

Just out of curiosity what part of the country has the highest top rate does anyone know?

The last contract that went through moved our top rate from 3 years to 4 now. But the first 3 years get paid more in the longer progression.

I would assume HI or AK since their cost of living is a bit higher.

Our pay is not based on COL nor should it be .

The COL in Hawaii is 185 compared to continental US of 100. That is like getting a 40% pay cut. Be a shame if they don't make more.

That is something that should be more expensive than caviar, the good stuff.

The Top rate is around the same amount no matter where you work in the US. (Unless you local is one like Upstate that has divert the raises to the pension fund)

Actually my area top rate is a couple of cents higher than Hawaii's.

That is a shame, you can't commute to Hawaii, you've got to live there.
