Those that claim envy or some similar adjective is the motivating factor behind the anti enrichment principles of the FTFPL policy, then they do not understand the purpose and spirit of the policy itself. .
I suggest those people read the Joe Fagone report.
Perhaps taking a look at the average line divisor is the way to go. Or , take a snap shot of 3 pilots senior and 3 pilots junior to their position in the Base, Equipment, and Status that they hold. Their triploss should be restricted to the average of those 6 pilots in their respective BES. That is more than fair and perfectly adequate.
union triploss should not be a "wind fall". Its just a "break even" as to what you would make on the line. Then ALPA kicks in the 30% above that to cover their benefits, etc. So, 94.5 hours costs us more like 125 hours a month per pilot. In the end, we do pay both the triploss and the accompanying over ride.
