So why was the 767-300 split from the 767-400 when the 747-400 was banded with much smaller aircraft?
No diversion. You complain about paybanding. Did you vote for it or against it? I voted against it.
The intentions of paybanding are not an issue. There are no intentions. That was industry standard and that is what both negotiating committees decided on. You can't put every aircraft in its own band. You have to draw the line somewhere. "Why was the 747 banded with smaller aircraft?" Would you have them band it with larger aircraft? Which one? We are not getting the A380. Our rates are high on that aircraft to set "industry standard" for our competition who might get it.
The contract was not forced on anyone, we had a vote. How did you vote?
