Well thats where you're wrong. What if they signed a new contract and first year pay was $30/hr? That'd be great right? Industry leading! But what if there was a clause in there that said you were only paid 50% for flights between 6am and midnight? Well now its not so good is it? Think something like that doesn't happen? Ask those CAL guys who are inflight relief officers on the 75/76 and 777. Up until recently they were paid 50% for deadheads. On a 16 hour flight to Delhi, that sucks. Point is this, payscales are easy to compare but its the workrules that really matter.
