Great to see AMEs sticking together representing themselves and making some solid gains for themselves and hopefully the rest of the industry.

3 yr opener, with compensation survey at that time. I feel it’s a solid deal, especially for Encore AMEs

Working on the Encore ESP limit would be a great next step.

So what is the increase??

I know that Porter was offering more than WJ mainline by $3 a/hr at $36 a/hr to experienced new hires.

Either one was forever graveyard shifts but Porter is offering a commuter/accommodation program, which of course WJ never will.

Personally, if you have 15+ years experience and a M2 you should be looking at $40 an hour for these jobs.

On that note, how goes the search for experienced AME's???
