LCAL pilots did NOT want to go to pay banding since they wanted to keep it longevity pay like UPS currently has in place. Many old timers were convinced you could make more throughout your career with longevity pay. I believe pay buckets were the product of the failed merger with Delta in 98'. We realized how different our pay structure was compared to the rest of the industry in a merger. Pay buckets were a compromise between longevity vs differential. And to think all the LUAL guys thought it was because of our SLI!
