How about a base pay increase, providing we can still post quarterly profits, Leave the 70/70+ premium pay in place.

TRUST ME you won't be on reserve forever. And once off reserve you will love the premium pay. Remember, even as long as reserve can be here, it is nothing compared to reserve at any other company flying similar size aircraft.

Then lets see if we can get the crew scheduling guide to be a bit more 'blue' and make QOL better for reserves. EVERYONE wants to go home at the end of an assigned pairing, especially if they arrive at 0600 and can catch a 2030 flight home but are assigned reserve till 2359. Everyone wants to avoid another night in the crashpad.

Let's work towards restoring Blue Values at Crew Services rather than homogenise the pay scale, and it's inherent positives. A one pay rate will only tend to reduce personal flying hours and raise CASM.
