The reason we've all lost so much is the total reduction of flying, not the pay scheme. If not for that, the merger's reshuffling of fleets would simply be a one-time event, and we'd all have advanced enough to void any concern.
LBP isn't the cure for what ails us, airframes are. In fact, LBP is a sure-fire way to make... shrinkeage more painful.
Why do you guys not see that the companies want such a scheme, but are too timid to ask for it outright? They ask for pay banding, thinking we'd never go for something as outrageous as LBP.

What happens when the company grows? You fail to capture the additional revenue. Airplanes have gotten bigger, on average, for 100 years. Why not participate in the company's ability to generate more revenue by carrying more per plane? Why would you want to incentivize fewer pilots, by having a flat rate per hour?
We push throttles. Management buys airplanes. Pay me for flying whatever it is they buy. period.

Based on his first few posts, he strikes me as one of these FNWA MSP based, always bitter, always complaining about how "Delta"'is screwing him, always talking about how everything NWA did was better than how "Delta" does it....basically complains about anything involving " Delta" type. Quite a joy to fly with. There's quite a few running around MSP.

Quick question.
During the interview process does HR prefer hiring someone coming from AWA/AE/OO etc over someone coming from a smaller regional such as Great Lakes?

I noticed Delta did give bonus points to those who had operated multiple aircraft types. Go figure.

You could also do both (get some regional jet time and if no upgrade in sight, bail. Or start off with a quick small turboprop upgrade, get 1000, then bail, etc).
