Its pointless - that is why my first priority above is JV/Scope protection.
Its very easy not to worry about pay rates now that a 3rd year Pilot can pull in $245/hour as a 737 A. A lot of us were making $85/hour as a 5 year FO last decade and the reason we don't have to worry about pay rates is because we improved them.
I am not singling you out but the virtue signaling of guys saying they don't care about pay rates cracks me up. Pay is the single biggest contributor to QOL.
One point that I think needs to be made is that we (DAL Pilots) should absolutely stop trading pay gains for QOL items. Let UAL and AMR make these trades and we can follow them with a "Me too" clause just like the ones that they have benefited from.
Lets go UAL Pilots!
