I thought that years ago also, now I know I would be doing International till I hang up my spurs. Be careful with what you wish for.
I do think pay banding is in our future because of future training loads and that is a first step.

I'm afraid of 744s being replaced by A333s.

That's a win.

Convince me that LBP is a good idea.

I just think it is another bone to throw to the senior among us! They get WD pay for domestic flying (which the majority will bid) and displace the junior to INTL for lower seniority. I am most interested in QOL. Now I can bid low paying equipment and be relatively senior. Most seniority on equipment would reflect the overall seniority list under LBP IMO.

On another note, ATL 88b, only 30 guys were allowed min credit condition on PBS. It says because of Admin. Nothing like being forced to fly 90 hours (ALV+15)!

OMG... this was a total bloodbath, the worst AE I've seen for junior guys in years.

I moved backwards 11%! From solid line holder to not having a line for 5 of the last 12 months!
Literally the worst day for me re Delta for the last 5 years. Everything all the pro-TA crowd has spouted for the last year rings totally hollow right now.

I think I saw one added behind me, and a shuffle in front of me for basically a wash.
