It also does not matter that i have more pic 121 that my captain, he is the boss,the one that the company and faa designate as such and the one who signs for the jet. Because of that and the leadership responsibilities placed upon the person charged with these responsibilities, he is worth more than a fo no matter what the fo's resume looks like.

Also one pay system would kill this group in a sli with someone without wb jets. Qol would be the deciding factor with only longevity since everyone would make the same. We would take a bath.

Sorry but i agree with carl he flies more people across more time zones, that is a function of seniority and pay. We hire on when we hire on. Large jets need to pay more than smaller jets. I have no issue with some banding and there are benefits to it for both sides but disagree on only a a and b rate.
