Disagree, at least at the regional level. Current system allows some flexibility that is additive to QOL. If you’re senior and want to live in Miami for example, you don’t have to commute just for better pay.

I do agree the 175 should be at mainline, as ALL flying should. Regionals shouldn’t exist.

Paybanding is what is BS. Also, we should just get paid based on the seat we can hold, perhaps volunteer for a seat lock to do that. That is a win-win for both the pilot group and the company.

On another note, I am highly disappointed with the union and their acceptance of this offer without putting it to a vote. You all should contact your reps and let them know you expect them to do just that.

If they don’t, I’m sure their decision can be legally challenged by the membership. Just like Envoy management didn’t have authorization from AA on the AIP, it sounds as if the union doesn’t have our authorization on this, which more than meets the threshold of “substantial changes” to the Agreement.

This is a total surrender and a benefit to the few, to the detriment of the many, yet again. Shameful, just shameful, and embarrassing.

“Company agrees to discuss reserve rules”. Utterly and completely shameful.

Good luck with that.
