No, not really. With longevity-based pay, you wouldn't see senior pilots packed in senior categories. They would be more evenly distributed.

No, it is a waste of time discussing this with you just like discussing the pitfalls of alpa national is a waste of time with ACL... I'm not gonna change your mind, and you have the position of being in the catbird's seat. There won't be a change, because alpa is scared to death of trying anything different. I never said anything about a NFC either BTW... I disagree with your premises above because you are wrong. And in the immortal words of Forrest Gump.. "that's all I've got to say about that"
I know testosterone levels drop as we age, but this is a little excesssive. Your last post fits somewhere between "ex-wife" and "B Coordinator". Shirley, you can do better? |

You don't think that, if you remove the financial incentives to fly a larger airplane, people would pick flying closer to home, or flying that's less tiring, etc.? I think our category lists are very much influenced by money. It's not the sole incentive, but it's a major incentive. Some individuals go against this trend, but in the aggregate, there it is: the higher paying categories are senior. You can validate this by looking at airlines such as British Airways where (I believe) there is no financial incentive to fly larger airplanes, and the senior guys are flying shorter NB trips.

You disagree because you're out of ideas on this topic. I don't really see the value of a longevity-based system, for several philosophical reasons, but I wasn't particularly looking to argue about it. You take it upon yourself to bring up the "illustrative" example of parking the 744's in support of your preferred pay method, and in the process you highlight a crucial flaw in the system. You bring forth an argument in a public forum, but you don't want to debate it?
