Leverage and the Next MEC Decision

No problem. I dont care whether we have one pay rate or 10. We should acknowledge that the system does benefit some over others. I love the SIG tables that show us average BLG. Wouldnt be nice if we could compare it to a table that showed what the actual paid averages per month are also. Might make bidding a new seat more interesting.
We dont bank guarantees we depostit actual hours.

Unless you are junior in your new hire seat, it's your fault.

Or do what we do now and pretend we have a 13 hour limit between high and low lines.

I'm trying to decide if this statement is more or less useful than Albie's post. I see the logic of both. Probably doesn't matter either way because I'm about to get yelled at for quoting your whole post.
My perspective...I am a FedEx employee number who gets paid for generating revenue and not crashing airplanes. I am also an ALPA membership number who pays 2% of my FedEx salary in case I crash an airplane or do something that stops FedEx from generating revenue. Neither organization really cares about me. I am simply a source of income for both.
But a not insignificant difference between FedEx and ALPA is that one has a very long record of success in its decision making, and one...not so much. If FedEx is willing to increase my pay 3%, that helps me and ALPA. I'm not sure anyone loses in this deal.
