I guess I'm wondering why the A319/A320 doesn't pay about the same as the B737. Then maybe the 737-900 and B757 should pay about the same. Next pay all the 767s about the same. I know I'm starting to get into paybanding. If you don't like the way I just sliced it up, at least pay the 757/767 guys more than 5% better than the 737.
If you were based in LAX, SLC, NYC or ATL, except for the vast different in flying between the 737 and the ER, would there be any real incentive to choose one category over another?
I'm honestly surprised the pay rates weren't banded a bit better on the TA- but it's more a contract extension than anything.
Some of it was obvious ego stuff from the JPWA in having similar north aircraft pay less (or larger aircraft pay the same as smaller)- I wish we would move on from that.
