I don't think it stops people bidding or training with a common pay. Both fly similar missions. Some really want to fly a 400 and they do so. Others like the variety of the 777 and they fly that. Hate to see us negotiate a pay rate for the 400 and it not be around in 3 yrs. In effect we cut the potential pay to the 777 guys.
We banded the guppy and the bus and still had people bidding across fleets. We band the 757/767 due to common type but significant gross weights.
Follow the money on walk st to find the crooks. Follow the aftermath positions to do the same with alpa.
