Yes, I fly it. A320/321 pay directly affects me moreso than you. What is next, criticizing those who push for international override since you dont do as much Caribbean flying?
Debateable
but thanks, I am not trying to **** anyone off, but just have a good debate.
And THIS is the crux of the problem. Basing pay directly on number of seats is a bad road to walk down. Does an A320/321 pilot deserve more than an E190 pilot? I dont think so. Air Canada Jazz used to have a blended pay scale that would adjust up/down based on number of aircraft type in fleet. If you had 130 A320s, 10 A321s, 60 E190s then you would blend the rates all together based on the number of each plane and get a CA/FO payscale.
Well it does affect me as I work here and could hold the bus if I wanted.
I was just saying that there is a big split at Blue and it seems to really depend on what plane you fly. I think the Bus needs to pay more and if we brought it up to psia and fixed other things I would not be so upset about the 321 vs 320 pay. ie fix international pay that way everyone wins.
