this one airline one payscale appraoch is really good, however it's not goign to work coming from individual contributers.
From my experience of coming from many different union body, something like this needs to come from a bigger/authorative mass. It needs to be coming from the AOA. Individual pilots voicing out our opinion is not going to work. Whining is not going to work, it will just lower morale. The union acts as a shield, and beleieve me a good union will get things done.
Along the same token, the AOA has GOT to do something, stand up and give people some incentive to join for christ sake. sheesh!
A critical mass is needed, otherwise we're just trying to chop trees with a butterfly knife, instead of using bulldozers.
I want my upgrades in a timely fashion, i want my basing, I want my pay. is that so much to ask? well,..i guess, since i haven't even started yet..
