I agree we need to fix LOA 25, but I also do care about the paybands. I find it crazy that somehow the same type rating pays so much difference.
319 to 320 A difference of 22 seats.
787-8 to 767-300 A difference of 2 seats but different bands.
Both were a game played by one side during the SLI to try to gain advantage that didn't work. Now IMO both need to be rectified.
