If Boog123 missed your intent... he's the only one, T.
We'll stipulate to that fact T2 is on record (again and again) as being for longevity-based pay, your honor...

I don't get the arguments against LGBP. We all complain about stagnation or downward displacements. To me this is all alleviated withLGBP. It also completely rewards seniority. If Cal Flannigan wanted to do island turns on a 757 it would have cost him $40/hr or more. With LGBP he bids what he wants. It costs him nothing. Company gets rid of all WBs costs us nothing. Company adds 200 WBs it costs them nothing more.

5500 series not in storage: 5501, 5503, 5507, 5519, 5521, 5522, 5523, 5525, 5530, 5531, 5532, 5533, 5534.
Crew planning news June 4, 2013 paraphrased: preliminary plan over next 12 months is to retire 10 757s plus 6 more 757s in last half of 2014. In 2015, 15-20 more 757s will be retired. As a result, we have a 7ER pilot surplus...

You just explained why LBP is a bad idea. It deprives us of the means to capture the benefits of higher productivity aircraft. Whether the company wants to add seats without paying us, or keep seats constant, the choice is theirs.
