The Market Rate Adjustment (Section 3.A.4) to Alaska Airlines pilots’ salaries is effective September 1. In this episode, Strategic Communications Chairman David Campbell discusses this time frame and the current market conditions that should affect the compensation of Alaska Airline Pilots. He is joined by MEC Chairman Will McQuillen and Membership Committee Chairman Brad Beachler. Other topics briefly discussed are how to handle a trade request denial, the Pilot Mentorship Program, and volunteerism. Most pilot contracts have traditionally included provisions for an annual raise. The current Alaska Airlines pilot contract includes, for the first time, additional language requiring a comparison between the contractually guaranteed pay increase and the current market-rate pilot salaries. This potential difference may cause the annual pay rate increase to be adjusted upwards. Alaska Airlines Pilots may read MEC Chairman Capt. Will McQuillen’s latest Update and his letter to CEO Ben Minicucci and CFO Shane Tackett here.

This tentative agreement includes a preferential bidding system (PBS) as the delivery process for monthly schedules. Hear about ALPA’s enhanced control over trip construction and how PBS will work. Many terms may be unfamiliar. Some may find the glossary below helpful while listening to this episode. Find more information at AlaskaPilots.org. PBS Hotline: (833) ALA-PBS1 or (833) 250-7271 Preferential Bidding System (PBS) Glossary   Average Line Value (ALV) The average Credit value of all lines in a Base Position.  ALV will include all known Credit in that Base Position.   Correct Line: The initial line the Pilot should have been awarded had a PBS Misaward not occurred.   Credit Window Credit range within which a line may be awarded.   Denial Mode A process in PBS that: is performed after PBS is unable to award a Pilot a line consistent with his or her bid preferences, seniority, known absences, the FARs, and the CBA, and within the Minimum Credit Window, is utilized after shuffle and prior to Secondary Line Generation (SLG), and ignores, one at a time, a Pilot's preference(s) to avoid flying a specified trip or a trip with specified criteria (e.g., number of duty periods in a trip, departure time of trip, number of flight segments per duty period) or the Pilot’s preference to avoid flying on a specified Calendar Day, in an effort to award a line within his or her Minimum Credit Window.    Fill to Threshold A tool in PBS that is utilized prior to Denial Mode, and continues to award trips to each Pilot's line, if possible, until such line is at or above the threshold.   Force Priority Stack Date on SLG A tool in PBS that ensures a Pilot who is awarded a line during the SLG process is awarded a trip that is scheduled to operate on the specified priority stack date.   Max Followed By Time The maximum time between trips that are awarded via the "Followed By" bid statement.   Max Iteration A parameter in PBS that limits the number of trips PBS considers when attempting to construct a line.   Max Passes A parameter in PBS that limits the number of attempts by PBS to award lines to all Pilots in a Base Position.   Max Reserves A parameter in PBS that limits the number of Pilots permitted to be awarded a Reserve Schedule in a Base Position.   Maximum Stack Height A parameter in PBS that limits a stack after all Pilots in the Base Position are awarded a line.   Priority Stack Date A designated date that is unstacked before PBS unstacks any other date. Priority stack date is limited to days which receive Holiday Pay.   Reduced Lower Limit (RLL) A line that is awarded below the minimum Credit value for the Month when the Pilot could not legally be awarded a line within the Credit Window.   Secondary Line Generation (SLG) The final PBS process, used after Shuffle and Denial Mode, that ignores a Pilot's bid preferences in an attempt to construct a line for the Pilot.   Shuffle A tool in PBS that: is utilized after PBS is unable to award a Pilot a line within his or her line credit window which complies with his higher priority bid preference(s) removes a trip(s) which had been awarded in accordance with such bid preference(s) and searches for combinations of trip(s) which comply with his or her lower priority bid preference(s), and is utilized prior to Denial Mode.    Stack The number of duty periods that remain in Open Flying Time on a given Calendar Day at the end of a bid run.   Threshold The target Credit value for each line in each Base Position in a Bid Period.   Trailing Line Value (TLV) The twelve (12) Bid Period rolling average of the ALV for a Base Position.   Unstack A tool in PBS that assigns trips to Pilots in such a way as to prevent a stack that is greater than the Maximum Stack Height.   Vacation Any A function applied during the PBS award process in which vacation days may be moved as needed so as to avoid conflicts with preferred trips. Vacation Any does not change the number of vacation days or the Credit of the awarded schedule.   Virtual Credit A credit value applied to an activity or absence only during schedule construction in PBS.  Virtual Credit has no value once the schedule is awarded.
