I'm in the "camp" that says that if you substantially change how we are paid from equipment to longevity, there will be at least 51% clamoring for a rebid. YOS pay with no fences and all the sudden AS pilots start gobbling up 777/747 slots? There is no way that would work. How many years would the scale go up to? 18? 20? 40? It could be done, I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying there would be a significant adjustment period and a lot of training costs initially, although it would most likely save a lot of training costs down the road.
