I don't know, nor do I care, how banding will affect SLI. I do know that banding pay rates was a concession. I want to remove as many concessions as we can.
An industry leading JCBA! Regardless of how it effect me as an individual.
Personally I think all a/c should pay differently since the productivity/ mission/ revenue potential is different on each. The individual pilot should enjoy the rewards of that. Even a319/a320.
Also, if your really are part of ALPA then ALPA says the formula is to be used (don't remember all the factors weight, speed, seats, i.e.). Its simply part of being in ALPA. As i get older though it occurs to me CAL old 25year scale that paid according to seniority might be nice. Flying an A320 ord to mco all winter long then laying over might be nice instead of going back side of clock to NRT-BKK
