So how big does the jet have to be before you cry foul on the pay rate? 5.1 mil pounds?
At some point we have to break out the larger A/c type. If we agree to WB rates for the 777 because it is only 130K more in MTGW than the 11, then what happens when we get the 747-8 at 130k more MTGW than the 777? We will wind up increasing the productivity of the larger A/C pilots to infinity. At some point we have to make a stand wrt the pay rates of more productive A/C. Now is the best time we have ever had to make that stand....
