Good God, man!!! Paranoia will destroy ya!! I have to think that pay banding is in the comparison to that we can adequately address it via our input in the survey.

While I agree that it's a bit of a stretch to call what we have pay banding in comparison to that at AA and UAL, it certainly is a small step in that direction. Over the past few years, ALPA has brought the 737-700 up to the -800 rates and the M88 up to M90. Meanwhile, there has certainly been a call to bring the M88/90 rates up to that of other NB aircraft, and to bring the -900 and the 321 up to the 757 rate.

All of that constitutes some amount of pay banding, and I for one will certainly use all that info to provide my input to the survey and to my reps directly.
