Sure that sounds great. But you know how our union will look at that idea…”what are you willing to give up for that?” The answer is “nothing” so why even bother with it? Whether there are 3 people or 300 people I’m still operating my jet in the way that gets ME back home to my family in the safest way possible. Industry standard (DL, UA) pay for A321neo is just fine with me and it’s a precedent already set.
