He's right.
For example:
At AWA there was one payscale as well.
The difference between Cactus and Brown is that Cactus would be content and stay overstaffed or understaffed in certain seats to spare the training costs. And there were only 3 types to deal with in 1.25 bases (LAS is a VERY small understaffed base
).
Here at Brown, it seems that they will retrain if they forsee being 3 crews over in any seat or base. With 4 bases and 6 equipment types, the cascade effect of moving those 3 crews multiplies quickly, even without a/c diferential pay ... FWIW.
