Dash Trash,
Right idea, but wrong variable. The company would not want to raise MPG. Ever.
If we put Line Caps instead, then yes all of that is true as the company hates those.
MPG is only the floor that is used for times like protecting pay for reserves when those pilots don't fly guarantee.
The company bean counters hate seeing pilots paid not to fly and want to find ways to reduce those costs.
The company can and will find a way to raise the upper limits when and where they need it.
Make no mistake, MPG will be like RJ's.
The company will gladly take them the pilots are tricked into giving them away, but do so with the intent to keep the lower MPG for the long term.
