Great!
One airline, one car manufacturer, one restaurant, one hotel, one construction company etc.
Would eliminate all that pesky branding nonsense.

Everyone should hear the Bill Maher recent rant on progressives. Not a fan of his, but it is funny and true.

I’d be happy with a natural seniority number like the following example....
you build 3 years with United. You leave United for FedEx. When you walk in the door at FedEx you start on year 3 pay, but year 1 for airplane and schedule building.

as it is now. No one leaves a legacy/major once they get a few years in cause they don’t want to start at year 1 pay.

Some of the regionals do that (or did before COVID?). I think maybe Skywest or Gojet if I recall. I could be wrong on exactly which ones.

Yeah that's how it works in almost every industry that pilots love to compare themselves too. Don't you feel respected and like a professional when you know in the back of your head you'd have to start at the bottom of the list should your company go under?

Makes me feel like a loser that I would put up with something like that.

what incentive would FedEx have to hire you in this case?

A myth, they have some old mamas flying senior trips. I’ve been there, got the herring dinner.

All the pilots with better qualifications (furloughed pilots) get hired before pilots without previous airline experience. Then he says that pilots would not take early outs when offered they would know that their job isn’t in danger. But none of the senior pilots that took early outs did it because they were fearing for their job. That’s doesn’t make sense, plus their jobs were never in danger because they are senior.

As for flensr, his assumptions don’t have to be true either. For example, you can make it so that each airline has complete control on who they hire and how they do it. And pilots can only “bid” and airlines can only take pilots in the NSL when there is an excess of pilots on the list (when another airline furloughs it goes out of business) assuming they are in need of pilots. You can even make it so that you can only exercise your NSL rights when your airline goes out of business. As for negotiating a contract, the union would just negotiate baseline items like pay rates, retirement, insurance, days off, etc and leave the details for each mec to negotiate.

Anyway, it won’t happen but not because of those reasons. It won’t happen because humans.
some fair points but as far as one, two or even three national airlines run by the government is where you lose me. Also I get what your saying about baseline items but you included most of the cornerstones. Good luck with that. You’ll have 20k ****ed off pilots. The 49% no votes. And we haven’t even started talking about list implementation. It won’t happen for many reasons.

Lorenzos master stroke wasn’t the 20 year pay scale, it was getting 3/4ths of these replies fighting to keep it.

Do you believe the pay and days off will go up if we’re all turned into Alpa contractors? Serious question.

I can't see how it would change much. ALPA already brings in millions from dues, so it's not like they would be hurting for cash once they have contracts with the legacies.

Not saying the dues aren't worth it. I know that's how organized labor works and I think they generally do a good job.
