Fact is a lot of guys are for your type of pay system T. Pointing out a negative like Sink did that makes sense is good practice. With the retirements coming your response should be that that fear of easy furloughs for those currently on the list is unwarranted and therefore negated which makes the LBS the way to go.
I can argue both sides.

T;
You could also argue that a LBS makes sense for the JR pilots as they would get more pay now rather than later. That is important given the fact that compounding is how we will get the required funds for retirement.
The realities are that the LBS will save a ton in training costs which we will not come close to seeing converted to our pay, the issue sink pointed out, more money now, a bigger disparity in bidding authority(not QOL) from Junior to Senior, more pay now, a greater leveling of pay, and a ton more. The issue is contentious because there are really good pros and cons. A debate as always is warranted, but keep it civil.

From what I understand, there is a jet and crew in place to evacuate the entire place at a moments notice. Our VP of Flying Operations is over there as well as his and the SVP's SAS's. MEC is to have a meet and greet there next weekend.
Trust me, if it gets to a point where safety truly becomes a question, we will be out of there. (at least that is what I have been told by multiple ppl)
