You do understand that if pilots had opted to separate themselves from the revenue capabilities of the aircraft we fly pay rates would be far less today.

Like UPS? Or SWA?

You take quite a leap to draw this hypothetical cause-and-effect. I don't "understand" this concept you float as fact. The only thing that is certain is that pay rates would have been established at whatever level the pilot group ratified. Breaking from one convention/metric for another doesn't drive any specific result.

Barring a major black swan/end of world event, the Legacies will never lose money again due to consolidation. The Legacies are now powerful oligopolies.

History does repeat itself and to get a glimpse of the future look no further than the consolidation of the Telecoms. Barring a Black Swan event AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile etc are not going to lose money again. Our Profit Sharing program is so clutch I'd say it's one of the greatest accomplishments in labor history.

SWA did more to damage pilot pay and working conditions than any other airline. They also operate only one type aircraft and have been fighting to get paid more for the new larger and more efficient variants. UPS is a relatively new airline that mainly operates widebodies.

As I posted before this will be the fourth time in my career I have heard the we will never lose money again story.

For informational purposes only, a chart from TA2016:



Since TA2016 was ratified into Contract 2016, the company has announced forty growth airframes - three 763BCF, nine new 763Fs, and twenty-eight 747-8.

Over the life of our current contract, that average max payload is going to move higher.

Complete fear mongering. YOUR fear is that if it were to morph into that at this point it would be YOUR ox getting gored. I maintain that while your pay increase might not go up as much as it will if we maintain the methodology we have now, it will still increase but would be better for the future. It really matters not truth be told, because if the contract negotiations drag out your and my voice are going to be a minority and we WILL get an up close with bus wheels.

Right after the DAL/NWA merger, the 757/767 represented 35% of our fleet, and the average was similar. That average has moved down now. I know this is true, but I personally have no documentation to back it up. I am sure somebody on here does.
