This needs to be fixed. The pay banding scheme didn't affect the SLI the way it was intended. Now the pilots flying the premium airplanes need to be paid premium pay. Too many pilots have suffered having their pay banded down to a smaller aircraft type because one pre-merger group wanted to use "aircraft hourly pay" as their method of seniority list integration (it would have been a first for any airline pilot merger in history).

That didn't work, but those pilots shouldn't keep paying for it.
