If this was a national manditory pay rate. It would level the playing field among the airlines. Airlines could not come to us and say pilot pay is killing us because everyone would be paying the same. It would have to be poor management.
-Unions could focus on work rules (which should be their focus) and safety.
-Senior guys might work a little more to build time increasing productivity (at least till they max out the pay rate).
-Might reduce training cost as guys might be less likely to switch airframes when there is no $$ to do so.
