Anyone can do the math and figure out for even someone in their 40s what their career progressions and earnings can total out to plus retirement.
The only way that can happen is if we let the NC and company do it to us. Vote no and keep voting no until we get industry standard. Why would we agree to fly A320 aircraft for far less than other airlines represented by ALPA.
As far as I'm am concerned; ALPA should have this policy. If you fly an A320 then this is your pay scale period. If you fly a B757 then this is your pay scale period. I will look at Delta and United's ALPA negotiated pay when I vote.
