As long as the top end is above OAL 737/320 pay AND we get excellent disability paid 100% with all the soft pay adds....I'd be pretty happy. All speculation anyway until they nail down a implementation schedule.
We need career earnings to be on par with OALs for the typical newhire, which these days is often 25 yrs old.
I'm betting you did NOT mean that Captain pay could be Delta 737 + $1 but it could be misconstrued that way.
In order to truly match career earnings we probably need a blend of significantly higher pay rates and retirement contributions.
