It's dangerous to say more seats should mean more pay. My previous airline believed this and was successful in taking one seat out of the plane to give us much less pay than rightfully deserved. Thinking seats are tied to pay would mean it would be ok to fly a 777 for regional wages if they only have 76 seats installed. How would we be able to come up with pay for cargo companies. Banded pay rates are important ( ie small narrow body, heavy, etc.)
The bigger picture is having a CBA would give you the opportunity to negotiate rates on everything you fly. Currently, you take what they give and have zero say in how that goes down.

All it means is that you can't go through JB training, then quit and use that training for another carrier. Basically meaningless if you get on with another carrier because you are going to go through their training program and learn the way they want you to fly the aircraft.

It is conceivable that they could go after a body for their "costs" associated with training him. Not a "given" that JB and its' "no compete" would prevail, but I'd wager few have the resources to fight back IF JB went after you.

I'm sure the ELT would much rather give us a 10% override, though. It looks better on the balance sheet since it'll only affect pay (no change in insurance costs or other benefits) and it will only affect a fraction of the pilot group without raising costs that much. If a 321 override means us rolling over on better pay on the 320 or insurance improvements,they'll jump on it and call it a bargain. We need to focus on improving the 320 stuff and just do what most of the rest of our peer group does by considering them one fleet type.

No, you could and should focus on improving the substandard compensation package, and not a pay rate for you only.
