Will the mechanics of FAs? below the wing? Ops and gate agents? NO.
So why is it that the pilots are the only ones tied to seats? If that aircraft allows the company to make more money then we should get a cut. The liability is the same, the risk is the same. If a 100 seat aircraft goes down it'll be the same exposure to the company as if 137 seat aircraft crashes. Pilots prevent that from happening. Mechanics also. So neither should gt a pay cut.
thats my opinion.
SWAPA didn’t say no. The company decided not yet…
liability us one piece. Now do RASM and CASM of a 100 seat jet over its average stage length vs a 250 seat jet over its respective stage length…
mechanics will turn wrenches on all models. Ops agents will push flights off their gate regardless of the model, rampers will throw bags into whichever model is on their gate. I don’t think FAs need to be tied to a specific type either. So pilots are the only ones tied to a specific aircraft type…and the revenue it generates.
