I see his point and agree. We'll have a hard time arguing the 321 should have an override since it's not common in the industry for it to pay differently than the 320. So rather than fight that uphill battle, fight the one we have better odds on: better pay and benefits on the 320, which will go along with the 321 pay.

I'm sure the ELT would much rather give us a 10% override, though. It looks better on the balance sheet since it'll only affect pay (no change in insurance costs or other benefits) and it will only affect a fraction of the pilot group without raising costs that much. If a 321 override means us rolling over on better pay on the 320 or insurance improvements,they'll jump on it and call it a bargain. We need to focus on improving the 320 stuff and just do what most of the rest of our peer group does by considering them one fleet type.
