Our posts crossed. I highlighted some of the differences in a post to Scambo.
1) GS are not routine, but 1.5>80 can create such inequities as part of the line construction process.
2) WS ARE routine, so they can increase the average payrate differential under 1.5>80.
3) SB/SWF are also routine, and can further increase the differential based upon who you know, not seniority.
4) When GS do come into play, they come with protections.
