ExRAF: '...will benefit every 121..."
No.
Try persuading most of the 25-year-plus FO's at American that. And the loss of upgrade income compounded over a career is enormous. I'm done with the US - it's been nothing but a disastrous experiment for me. The key is that the industry here is neither regulated nor de-regulated, and the Gov. feels an overwhelming desire to keep meddling with it and moving goalposts. From what I'm seeing today, the big winner is AA management, as our union is now totally fractured into those who are WB Captains and refusing to move, and everybody else. I'm sure it's the same at all the other carriers. This is one of the most reckless moves ALPA has ever made - a result of them rolling over like sick lambs when their pensions were under threat. Whimps.
