BTW, the pay on the 300 is unsatisfactory. Why did ALPA do that?
Because Jay Pierce tried to make his side look more like a big airline and equivalent to the UAL side for senority integration. The UAL side accepted it to stop the JP and JS carnage to the UAL pilot seniority. Since then the combined pilot group agreed to a 2 year extension for a little raise instead of making meaningful changes to the contract.
Hence, not ALPA's fault - it's the pilots greed. Own up!
