I'd much rather have our junior pilots fly the lower paying airplane and have seniority dictate who flies what than outsource the flying and potentially putting their livelihoods at risk.
Why are you even starting discussions about lowering pay rates?
Hell no.
And throwing the “outsourcing” boogeyman out there right away? Sounds like management scare tactics.
We have the strongest scope in the industry….. lets leverage that and stay unified and strong.
