Seriously guys, do you realize there are people every day dying, getting life threatening diseases, losing loved ones, ect? This is just a JOB. Show up, fly the plane, enjoy the crews, then GO HOME. Put it out of your mind. Who cares whos airplanes are whos (or not)? Why is it so hard for pilots not to make everything so much harder than it is? If you just worry about doing your job to the best of your ability and let the rest happen, you will live a lot longer and be a lot happier.

If you hadn't tried to increase your seniority position by pegging the Guppy pay to the 757, all of these bids you're witnessing may have been different. Thank you very much.

This was one of those "We are going to try this scheme. If it works, great. If not, STFB".

"I" did nothing to try to influence SLI. I go to work...then...I go home. I bet you do something similar. In fact, I did not mention SLI, pay or bids. Again, he was talking about how horrible the 73......nevermind.

Serious question. Did the Bus folks try to copy that, just got lucky, or did they always make 75 pay? Because the only difference in 73 and 320 pay is as somebody pointed out slight differences in the blended rate.

If the JointNC hadn't done so, then we all collectively would have lost out on $$ as the uber 737's were earmarked to be the successor airframe. The outcry would have been tremendous if they had allowed a replacement acft pay less as 757's went away.

True - that's the only reason JH signed off on it.

Not going to disagree that many would scream. I personally believe pay banding is concessionary and decision 83 should stand. Hard to justify a plane weighing 60k more pays the same. The 57 should pay more even by a difference of $5
