No JA or RON. Idk why we are not trying to get rid of this? Also can we stop comparing our rates to anyone else's? Let's just figure a number that works for us. I dont want to limit our rates based on what someone else settled for. Personally I think we need way more than 756 rates.
This us where the industry is failing its pilots. Everyone wants to be equal with the others or slightly better rather than say "we make this much for the company so we want to be compensated as such"
We are the most productive pilots in the world. Why limit our pay to what delta makes?
