What happens to pay rates if the Company decides to park widebodies? It's a way for them to control payscales.
Finally, if BA has a longevity pay system, let's get feedback from their pilot group as to how it's working over there. Or has dalpa already had in depth discussions with them to see if it is something which makes sense?
Sailing or Slow talked about this a while ago and it was a different take but I seriously don't think they've ever talked to anyone about it because it would be too extreme of a change to the status quo whether you could absolutely prove it would be a benefit.
That said, lets play with the idea. Under the current system you could JV and skyteam yourself out of the majority of WB flying. Then lower your costs but you'd also lost revenue... I have no idea what I'm talking about and I blame Capn for this.
here, move on...
