We still have about 150 VPs and Directors with very few responsibilities. Adding to this is that our average seniority is about 8 years, and goes as high as 25. Comair is also very senior. This tilts crew pay toward the upper ranges of the pay scale. Someone at PCL and XJ feel free to comment, but I believe your average seniority is much, much lower... around 3-4 years?

Until this changes, we will NOT be awarded new flying.
