Not true. You do it in stages, and the super premium guys' pay increases are just not as big (percentage wise) as everybody elses' Tough. They have been at the top of the food chain longer than anybody else will be there.

I believe the trend at DAL is upgauging, not so much at AF, particularly with all of AF's 747s being parked.

So then the block hour metric would make more sense.

My reps know exactly how I feel on this. So does Heiko. We have talked in the past about it. The young guys that will be most affected by this change need to be more vocal about it.

I'm glad you spoke to your reps about it, but if you feel strongly about it a local council resolution, supported by your council at a meeting, and brought by your reps to the MEC will carry more weight.
