Pay banding as it stands in this contract was gamesmanship to influence the sli. It failed and we are all worse for it. I still voted yes so I am as much to blame as...
If we are really going to endorse pay banding the lets go single aisle and dual aisle. Considering the 767-3 has 5 less seats than the 787-8, it should be banded with dual aisle airplanes. Narrow body and wide body.
Pre-merger was the 747 banded with the 777 at L-UAL? At L-CAL the 787 was banded with the 777, I'm assuming the pre-merger situation had at least some bearing on the negotiations. Not saying one way is better or worse, just that everything isn't necessarily a conspiracy. Scott S., not directed at you, just to be clear- I appreciate the info you bring.
