Nobody should have to fly over 75 to try to "recoup" pay.
Again, lots of chaff out there, like what it cost/hour for a delta pilot.
There is no investor conference where pilot cost/hour is a metric.
We have augmented crews and initial training when switching fleets/seats. Delta spends a lot of money on pilots not producing ASMs; and yet the Delta pilot portion of CASM is 30% below Southwest's.
Offer the company savings by having pay-banding and there is lots of headroom in the financials.

George;
The problem is that is such a teensy weentsy piece. Someone might be diligent enough to have tabulated a list of these sorts of improvements, but if others are like me, I think of it when I think of it, but dont write it down.
If anyone has come up with a punch list of contract improvements, I would sure like it PMed to me so I can have a more structured list from which to work.
It might not be a bad idea to post it too, IDK.
