Con: If the theory here is hiding pilot costs - I don't think it would work. Our contracts are costed and increases to our compensation are not that easily hidden.
Pro: Easier to defend lower hourly rates on the PR front.
How would this affect reserve pilots?
My opinion is we need to stop worrying about defending our pay rates. We live in a capitalistic system - if our skill set merits $300/hour, so be it.
