Southerner, regarding #2 and previous regarding tantamount pay to Delta...
There is no legal or financial reason why BJ pilots can't be paid just like Delta. Have you ever been in management anywhere? (and I don't mean like being a CP or DO). Well, I have. Let me tell you that management works overtime to brainwash people into what you are saying.
You know very well that especially under fiduciary responsibility, the CEO can pay us Delta rates overnight as long as it's in the best interest of the company. Did you notice how in the past all the clueless juicers and most of the pilot group thought fiduciary meant keep pay low? That was management/owner brainwashing from many industries. I've previously provided many links proving it.
Please don't be the #1 apologist here by claiming that BJ pilots can't be paid the same as Delta.. that is a viewpoint that is propaganda, illogical, and not grounded in factual assumptions.
I blame people like you personally for the poor state of morale and respectability BJ pilots have.
