Someone is going to get very angry at what I just wrote. So, bring it on.
What makes more sense? Banding of the pilots' initiation or the company's?
Does it make sense to band the 739 with the 757 when the industry is not finished consolidating? Would doing so give WB expectations and as a result become an unintended consequence that would have a greater negative impact on pay, and progression than a few thousand dollars a year in pay differential as we see now?
