That was never stated. Go read straight from the horses mouth on our forum. More DPA apologist lies.
Direct quote from the DALPA Comm Chair:
"I thought the explanation you received at the CVG road show yesterday was pretty complete. SWA pilots make a large W2 because they have a pay rate that is multiplied by a lot of hours. It was also explained that were we to eliminate the ALV and other constraints to obtain that kind of productivity here, we could probably kiss the bottom 1000-1500 guys goodbye."
Direct quote from RH:
"So what I said at the road show is that you should be careful what you wish for. If you want to generate higher W-2's by flying more hours, then you will run out of block hours when you get to the bottom of the list. That means fewer 747 Captains, fewer A330 Captains, all the way down the line until you lose the bottom 1000-1500 pilots."
