mass pilots union

I wish we could do that. We pilots seem to complain about our conditions alot, but when it comes down to it, there's no real solidarity. As long as pilots think it's OK to take the Kraft Dinner job because it pads the logbook, we're not going to stand together. Most pilots I come across would just rather keep their heads down and accept what conditions they have.
If ever a pilot gets the couillons to try to start a union, watch the coworker friends scatter. They'll back your idea in chit chat until they see you actually going forward with it.

Good start, but there would need to be company perks such as self managed retirement plans. and medical coverage plans.

Where do you all come up with these arbitrary numbers?

You know what an acceptable pay is? It's the pay that I freely accept when I decide to work for a company. Here's a surprise: no one is forcing you to work at a job you don't feel is paying you fairly.

How much would a Bell 206 pilot be worth flying less than 200 hours a year for a private corporation trim spinner?

Mostly in the summer with long periods free to do whatever in the winter.

The reason I asked about the Bell 206 pay was to point out that different types of flying by its very nature and based on the law of supply and demand will have a different value pay wise.

For instance, flying as a F.O. for a major carrier on their smaller equipment will have a different pay scale than flying single pilot on a Bell 206, and of course will have far different specific skills requirements.
