It just seems like eliminating pilots' financial incentive to change aircraft every so often would so reduce training churn that it would represent a windfall we could negotiate to put in our pockets.
So, seriously, has anyone submitted a motion to this effect? If so, what happened?
IMO this is a bad idea for a number of reasons. 1. I kinda feel like that would be pulling up the ladder and causing delta to hire fewer pilots which would prevent advancement for those both on and off the seniority list. 2. Some group is going to get screwed pay wise. Either by having their pay reduced or not going up the same amount. 3. (And this should be number one but I'm not retyping this.
) This will impact the QOL of A LOT of pilots. If money is taken out of the QOL equation, you are left with seniority as the major determining factor in QOL and guys will definitely exercise it to the detriment of many.
