2)Pilots over the age of 54(an incentive of around $100,000 per pilot for those who are willing to do MUS and work until they're 65 in order to maximize SLB).
Nothing could do more to fracture the crew force than to focus benefits only on the young and the old and cut out everyone in the middle. My hope is that if this TA is voted down the next NC will focus on hourly pay rate increases. Everyone will benefit much more equally.
