How far into europe can a 321NEO get from BOS or JFK? Maybe just a much larger international pay?
Pay banding or seniority based pay is the smart choice. But there's so much push back from pilots here I doubt it'll ever happen. Also, why do we get international pay? It's not any harder than a 5 leg 717 day.
