Bingo! It’s concerning how little some of us understand about the history of our profession. If one hasn’t read flying the lines volume 1 and 2(if a United pilot, 2 is a MUST read). Confessions of a union buster is another. Lots of dirty tricks from management teams still being employed today. Can’t recommend these books highly enough.

should’ve just made one captain pay scale and lets people’s preferences (international vs domestic; 3 time zones vs 12 time zones) sort it out.

Nope.

Hint: it’s about revenue generation, not the amount of work. A wide body flight generates more revenue in one leg than a narrow body does in several legs, mainly because of increased cargo capacity and higher ticket prices on the long-haul international legs. Further, the "1-and-done" thing is only for the crews; the jet flies around the clock, for the most part.

Thanks for the gouge, MJ, DC and 303, it will be used wisely! DC I will give you a ring in TK.

In Unity...
