Add to that the fact that these bases are very undesirable for pilots. The quick upgrades in NYC/EWR and California bases at the legacy carriers is proof.
Next tell us how NK puts more seats in each plane, so you are entitled to more seniority. Or how yellow planes are uglier, so NK pilots should get hazardous worker pay.
But I think you actually could be on to something, and I agree, pilots based in the Midwest in the JCBA should get a lower pay rate. Great idea!
Or... How about we treat each other with some respect, fight the real enemy for a GREAT JCBA, and abide by the expected ALPA merger policy?
