Are you even familiar with the history of the B scale in this industry? Separate pay scales for different sized planes is not a B scale. What those rates are is up to the pilot group to negotiate. I’ll take JB’s scope and $220/hr E190 rates + $264/hr A220 rates ($224 and $269 next year if this LOA passes) over AS’s outsourced RJs and no scope any day. Also, just to be pedantic since it seems fitting for a response to your post, there’s no such thing as a 700MAX.
Spent 5 years on B scale. Can you answer why Jetblue flies the 220 which is the same as a 319 for less money. Can you answer why we should. I think what you are saying is buy scope with lower pay rates. Trying to get your logic.
