The saying the management is using is "we must cut cost to be competitive." I'm hoping in the future the new saying will say "In exchange for operational efficiencies (co-domicile, dual type) we will offer a pay increase." This will combat the entry level of pay at the same time, increase their productivity. Our only saving grace will be the new rest rules. Then they won't be able to push us that hard. Time will tell...
I just can't see why Pilot Unions would allow this. Why pay for a raise with a productivity increase like dual qualified. I worked in a union job long enough to know that when you give something back, you never will get it back.
You'll spend 10 years at your regional and real realize that there is nothing left. Don't pay for your raise!
