Flat pay would help, seniority/longevity transfer would be great, those are all up to us and our unions to achieve. But the RLA is the one thing that our lawmakers can fix. We elect these folks and they do squat to help us. Last time I checked trains just went fast and slow, our aircraft do a bit more than that. With all that this job requires of us (dont forget TAFB) I don't buy into subsidizing the 'greater good of the country' by sleeping in a van and eating rice and beans for dinner while barely keeping my lights on at home.
