>>1912359It's not autism, it's the union being based and abusing a loophole for concessions.
>Company tries to bring on iirc A350 or something without a payscale>union says we wont fly without a pay scale>union can hold the new planes hostage and sitting with no pilots while they crank up the pay demands>planes that sit are MASSIVE revenue sinkholes>Company now fucking pissed and henceforth negotiates pay scales well in advanced of any eventuality so they dont have to make concessions so all the legacies with regional feeds got the commuter jets on the payscale in the eventuality that the regionals get stapled or something to mainline.
Also why DAL has the 787 on the top of the payscale even though that Boeing contract fell out long ago in favor of Airbus but fuck it we negotiated it so why get rid of it just incase?
