BTW, Most UNAs were pay protected to the contractual rate. Some were left on training pay. But none got pay protection to their pre displacement payrate.
Another union of 1. Thanks for being honest.

why should you get A350 pay to fly a 737 when others dont? That sounds a lot more like a union of 1 than me saying you should get paid what you fly.

what about the 64 year old 73NA who stayed senior and never flew fly WB A, should he get a350 pay once he turns 65

Look, I am glad that you want to quit when you are 55 or whatever. Others don't. But what I hear from you is that because you personally won't be moved that the association should just roll over and not fight for something better for anyone up to the new limit. "73NA should be enough"
Wrong!

Guys/Gals got displaced from their ER and 320/737 seats and got paid 717 rates....lowest paying aircraft on property.

PWA 4.D in the old contract

It's not a union of 1. The company is going to make us pay dearly to pay protect you to fly a NB. I'm not willing to give anything up for it. You get 2 extra years. You can get paid the rate of the highest category of aircraft you legally can hold.

I thought I had read a post were you were prepared to bid the ER if that was what was required.

I think that’s all that was meant by the earlier 73A comment. If the option is bid NBA, or be WBA but not be able to fly legally and thus have the status but no credit. The NBA route would seem preferable. When operating as an NBA, the pay would be NBA. This whole scenario assumes no ICAO work around.

Because I was forced out of my seniority allowed seat due to no fault of my own. I also think anyone that gets displaced to another airplane below me should be pay protected. See how that works? A UNION would fight for that. You see it as YOUR ox being gored and those pilots being displaced as taking something out of YOUR pocket. That is simply not true. I think when DAL retrenches and displaces (And they WILL) that EVERYONE should be pay protected to the position they are currently in. Of course I have been an advocate of longevity pay for years, but alpa doesn't want to entertain that idea..... so what we have is what we have.

If I had to, I would absolutely do that. But if ICAO changed, I would bid right back. I can handle either school with zero problems, and if delta wants to waste time training me, fine. I would personally rather work than sit home collecting money for nothing, but that is how I roll. But whether it is 73NA or 767A, the point is the same. He was saying that whatever paycut had to be endured would still be "enough". That is not unionism. A union would fight for everyone to make as much as absolutely possible to the very last day.

Why do ya'll think I am so ****ed that alpa threw the 767 guys under the bus wrt WB pay? Hint: it isn't that I think I am destined to be going back there anytime soon.

either we should pay by aircraft type or by longevity, but not this hybrid where you are automatically guaranteed the highest payrate you ever held. seats and planes have payrates. And I’m fine paying them that way. If we switch to longevity I’m fine paying that way. But just because you are displaced for any reason, but especially because you are no longer qualified to fly an airplane to a majority of its destinations, doesn’t mean you are owed anything more than anyone else who flies your new plane in your new seat.

When has any airline that is retrenching ever pay protected every single pilot who got displaced? That’s not even a thing, so why on earth would the company entertain it now?

I'm a junior NBA, and expect to get displaced. Would love to be pay protected in the right seat, I just don't see it happening, but would liked to be surprised.
