I'll likely never fly the 76-300 again so I don't really have a dog in this fight but...

All this crap about banding is just that. Lets get back to pay for productivity, not company convenience and training mitigation issues. Those are management problems, not ours. Decision 83 worked well for a long time and is what got our pay rates up to where they are. Of course if they want to pay us more than that in order to offset their training costs and lost productivity while we're in training than that's fine. A favor done is a favor earned, right?

And even though it doesn't affect ME, ("bidding the 767-300 is a choice") I'd really like to see the disparity addressed and eliminated in the next contract.
