If 99.9K/lbs is OK because its esoteric rich people flying, then why not 100K? 120K? BBJ? ACJ? 747?

The company has no business flying those jets with off the seniority list non union pilots. I would be willing to grant some level of operational relief, like having to interview for those positions from the master list or a longer seat lock, but to give the jobs up to off list non union pilots is one of the absolute biggest negatives in this TA.
