There is probably more than a couple of different compensation revamp options available to the pilot group that would be beneficial to some and detrimental to others.
Longevity pay would be make some happy and make others upset. While I do agree that the system now has become a little over-complicated with so many different aircraft types and categories, the bottom line is it would be impractical, if not impossible, to create a system that will be beneficial everybody.

The point is it is impractical to think that we will be able to devise a compensation program that will be beneficial to everyone. Not saying we shouldn't be considering ways to improve compensation, but I think venturing on a project such as this will require a significant amount of collateral contract changes that we may not anticipate.
Managements is extremely versed in it's ability to work a PWA into a way that is beneficial to them and detrimental to us.
Face the facts they are better at it then we are.
Coming into a the first few profitable quarters after a 10 year stint of ongoing losses, while still working under a bankruptcy contract, begs at least one question in my mind:
How "creative" do we really want to get approaching the 2012 contract?
