Work rules hardly change any of the trips on the 190. So this contract does nothing for 1/4 of the group. I don’t care about being highest paid 190 when the pay is terrible. It’s why everyone is going to bid off of it. Any bets on how junior left seat 190 is next bid?

More like “pouring a cup of 190 pilots into a barrel of Airbus ones.”

Hows about we compare planes of similar size? How does our "high" 190 pay look then?
Answer: Like most other sections of this TA, sub standard...

Got it. So you want your artificially inflated seniority the 190 allows you and you also want it at airbus rates?

You know, this is exactly how DAL negotiates. It's not about how many seats or profit is generated, it's "who is the highest paid, we must be below them or we cannot ask for more!".

That’s great and all except that isn’t how the industry has negotiated. I don’t know why but it’s the way it is. So trying to justify it before a mediator just doesn’t work.

Did the mediator tell us to remove SWA from the pay comparisons because they don't operate the A320?

Got it, so no other airline is permitted to exceed the highest pay rate per airframe that exists in the industry? Or there is some limit to how much above another airlines top rate you can go?
