For what it’s worth, both their answers are consistent and correct. It is about 3000 pilots being paid at the top pay banded rate.
The Purple pilots attacking our fellow pilots at other airlines are simply preparing a smoke screen to distract from the dud of a TA coming our way. This is part of ALPA’s plan. Many of them are likely committee volunteers angling for further FPL by getting in the good graces of their overlords on the MEC and NC. They are looking out for themselves not for the pilot group they are a part of.
Keep in mind, these are the posters who are OPPOSED to increased job security, OPPOSED to industry leading pay rates in accordance with the C2021 openers, OPPOSED to work rule improvements. They are in favor only of what the NC feeds them.
