I agree, Chimpy. After listening to the pilot call, I don't believe the slope will get fixed. I believe it was PS who mentioned the unfairness of giving the junior guys more money. I would counter with the fact the pay scale as it stands is unfair, as the more junior you are, the further you are from industry average.


I'm guessing we'll eventually get a TA that has a number of improvements for all, like long call reserve, LTD, scope, etc., but without fixing the slope. The union will try and sell it by saying that it's the best they can do, if you don't vote for this it could be years, and so on.

They need to have a number of questions on the survey about the slope, not just generic, "What is the minimum percentage increase you would accept?" kinds of questions.
