Tex,
I want to drill down into this more. From what I understand, an engineer per se is paid the same rate whether he/she works for Santa Fe or what ever other line.
How do we accomplish this as pilots. A guild? A salary floor? What kind of role can ALPA National play? And, how about that retirement?
