UPS has the highest career earnings of any airline, even after the large contracts of the big three. How can that be if their highest pay rate as of January 1 will be almost $70 per hour less? Maybe it is because they have a single pay rate, so they get paid more for longer rather than a lot at the very end. Even with their contract extensions, UPS didn't exceed Delta's 2016 contract highest pay rate until September of 2023.
So everyone on the Airbus and 767 should get less than what was in the failed TA? Be careful when you demand Industry Standard, you just may get what you ask for.
I take it you've studied the SWA chart closely. It seems you are about to say the quiet part out loud. You've proferred an interesting question, but you (we) must ask ourselves the corollary question: So everyone on the 757 should get less than industry rates to protect our binary WB/NB pay scales?Originally Posted by JustInFacts
As part of the discussion, I think it needs to be pointed out that we have two pay categories, widebody and narrowbody. Matching pay rates to specific aircraft may not be ideal for all.

It appears to me there are multiple solutions to ensure each of our jets get industry standard rates...or above. Which will we choose?
