The new pay system doesn't sound too great. Are they passing any of that savings on to the pilots? Training is "a cost of doing business", pilots shouldn't have to subsidize that for the company.

Also, I'd be wary about the financial penalty for parking aircraft. ALPA gets to decide what to do with the cash...hell no. All cash from penalties with regards to fleet reduction should be divided amongst the furloughed and downgraded as a result of those aircraft being parked.
