Industry standard pay rates isn’t going to fix this thing imo. Lack of retirements, progression, upgrade times, widebody options, constantly dealing with a company unwilling to pay anybody on the front lines enough to stick around for more than 6 months, and the fact that a lot of people want to work for a legacy carrier are all equally important factors I’d imagine.

Who cares if you made the biggest contract gains in alpa history? I’m so sick of hearing that. We did that because captains were making less than legacy fos at the time and we still ended up at the bottom. We gave up a lot of for those too.
