Did we explain it to management in a way they could sell it to the board?

No to scope, PS, or QOL. (working more, abrogation of seniority, sick leave changes, etc.)

The pilot group doesn't want it, and I don't want negotiating capital spent to get it. (we already have it)

I think pay banding is the wrong answer. Is there still is a technical formula for aircraft performance and capacity? It needs to be public because I don't think there is. If so, then fuel efficiency and range should be a significant part of that formula. That means the arbi, and C-100 are far more useful, and should pay a greater rate than the 717s and the MDs.

I challenge everyone who thinks there is still a technical formula for pay based on performance to post it. I will buy a round for the entire group in attendance at their bases picketing event if it can be applied to our current fleet across the spectrum of aircraft and yield an accurate result within +/- $2 of the current pay table. Good luck.
