This isn’t wrong, but it’s a one-dimensional perspective on a multi-dimensional formula
Delta pilots can earn more than United pilots for a number of other reasons, one of which all their premium is 100%. United’s is 50%, 75%, or 100%, and a lot of pilots are gobbling up 50% as soon as it’s offered. This isn’t changing in this AIP.
