We dont need the government getting involved in setting our minimum pay (or minimum level of experience required, same thing). The longevity payscale is a bunch of crap considering the drastic difference between 1st and 10th yr pay at any airline.
If we all got paid according to how much revenue we bring into the company it would be more sustainable for the pilots and allow the company to expand as well.
Maybe use some sort of formula with
RPMs (Revenue Passenger Miles). If you have a 100 seat jet with 80 people on it and you fly 1 mile then that equals 80 RPMs.
