But hey, if you had a CBA, you'd be able to negotiate appropriate rates for appropriate seats. Along with negotiating many other aspects of your operation. Unfortunately for now, you eat what they're serving (just like health care rates)....and deservedly so since your group turned down the organization drive last time around.
Wake up and join your unionized brothers and sisters so you can have a say in your future.
It's dangerous to say more seats should mean more pay. My previous airline believed this and was successful in taking one seat out of the plane to give us much less pay than rightfully deserved. Thinking seats are tied to pay would mean it would be ok to fly a 777 for regional wages if they only have 76 seats installed. How would we be able to come up with pay for cargo companies. Banded pay rates are important ( ie small narrow body, heavy, etc.)
