The company continues to upgrade folks into the widebody seats, CA and FO. That's why Boeing SOs are continuing to upgrade to FO. Overmanned? Sure. But the company is not acting like it with upgrades. Why are we paying for training and the higher pay rates as a result of these upgrades?

I think it is because they want low BLGs to cut costs. No other cost savings measure is being considered.

It cuts our training pay for recurrent.
It cuts pay for flexes to do "draft" sim support.
It increases reserve utilization without an increase in reserve flying. (Cuts their pay)
It drastically cuts the pay of the bottom 30% in each seat and cuts it below 68/85 for over 50%

Once again the company has a single minded drive in one direction. Forget all other ideas to help the company's bottom line.

Don't even get me started on how we could have kept the 757 line open and received new 757s instead of the worn out ones coming....At a much higher cost than we thought we would pay.

For those of you who think the company has got it all figured out....I advise you to think again.
