Study the issue very deep. Talk to your reps about it.

IMO given all our rapidly increasing retirements, 9 fleets and 8 pilot bases, this concession could cost us over 1000 captain positions.
You're pulling this out of your ass. There might be some stagnation, although I don't think with the upcoming retirements and hiring that anyone will know the difference. You certainly wouldn't be able to make any quantifiable comparison. Besides, in recent years when every AE was a backslide and 6 months apart, the training center was a ghost town. You really believe that a banded payscale will compare to THAT? I would be interested in reading your thesis to support that position.

Now. As far as the OP, I agree 717%. That post was absolutely spot on. When we had profit sharing and the company didn't have to worry about payout, it was no big deal. Now that they DO have to worry about paying us a little jenga.. it is. Not my problem, and if they want to "codify" that pay, it better be at a premium, and not dollar for dollar.
