I am not at all satisfied with the NC response. While I agree it will be expensive and difficult to fix right now, they created this God forsaken slope in C2010 and now, we want it fixed.
I don't give a shizz about the fact that fixing it would seem unfair to the senior guy as it would mean the jr guy gets 50 bucks and he only get 25.
What is fair about the jr guy trailing industry payrates by like 50 dollars and the senior guy being right at IA? that is extremely unfair. the fact that he even brought up this sort of rationale makes me think he doesn't get it and we need new blood in the NC.
The first thing these clowns need to acknowledge is that there is a unfair slope to the payscale. until they acknowledge that fully, they will not be too concerned about fixing it.
Another guy hit the nail on the head by saying at the current rate of hiring, we have most of our seniority list comprised of relatively junior guys longevity wise. If the negotiating committee decides they don't want to fix the unfair slope to the pay scale and pay senior captains industry rates while sacrificing the pay rates of guys in the middle of the pack, the negotiating committee has another thing coming to them. They will have a very hard time selling this to the majority of the pilot group while the contract benefits the most senior captains.
