Why? This isn't gospel, it's opinion and there are different ways of looking at it. Both companies had banding at the merger announcement, you mentioned DAL bands (industry norm), and it was a part of the CALALPA openers in '08, before the merger. In any event, all we can do is make our desires known to our reps and vote on the next contract, but ascribing some type of unilaterally nefarious motives to our current pay bands is nonsense.
