That said, i could live with straight widebody vs narrow (meaning aspiration and bodily functions would continue).

Nope.

What you propose is such a significant shift from what we have now, why have any payrate separation at all? Everything pays the same.

In effect that is what you propose except there are 2 tiers in your example. If you can defend 2 tiers, you can defend 1 tier/ no tiers. If you think there should be 2 tiers, then you should also think there should be 6 different payrates.

As I see it, there is no difference in payrates or there is.

BTW compounded inflation gets backed out of any and all claims of "conctractual increases" as we will not fall for that trick anymore.
Totally agree. Now how do we get DALPA to see it and approach it that way?

Default Reserve Days Capped?!

How can a day with 19 required reserves and 50 available be capped?

What if in the next contract we had some stipulation that unused sick leave balances could be put in the full service bank (up to a max of 60 hrs/year)

thoughts?

Could be nice. Guys wouldn't have to bust their humps in the summer months building their banks up.
