As I see it, the point being made is, all categories would be really senior, then really junior allowing less downbids and backfilling to furlough. You could uniformly cut capacity across the board with less of an effect wrt to cost and training. The flex would be much easier to manage for the company than the current pay system.

APA has new hires on the whale, we do not. Pay is the reason guys sit reserve on it when they can hold better trips on lower paying jets. Take that away and really junior pilots will get to fly the 744/777 as those guys that are currently doing no longer have a pay incentive.
