You are right. I wonder though, if your per seat pay is closer if you use early 2000 mainline pay scales. I think their Quid pro quo contracts are younger due to BK. Also do you think it would work well if AAG offered Eagle the 12/4 caps with American seniority numbers, and offered any current pilot a 50 % seniority gain at American? That would help the balance the books over night.
I.e. a 16 year eagle captain could move to year 8 American FO pay scale.
