1. A realistic strategy for achieving it.
A basic concept, one pilot, one vote. All pilots support each other during labor disputes
2. A solution to the fact that there are many non-union and non-ALPA airlines (as you know).
The promise of no furloughs, and senority for life. If you want to work for a regional and want to sleep at home you can do that and make a living and a retirement too! Trans-cons your bag you can do that too! Everyone gets what they want.
3. A solution to the fact that some airlines are able to pay more than others. The way I see it, your proposal would either a: lower payrates at the more financially stable airlines, or b: cost jobs or even lead to liquidation of the weaker carriers.
A single national payscale for equipment types, economy would come from scale and efficiency of the "corperations"
Yes pay at the top paying airlines would come down, but how much are you losing
each month on furlough, if you averaged the amount lost per month and applied to the months working you would have a more realistic earnings picture.
Someone on furlough please run some rough numbers, don't forget retirement numbers and lost years earning potential too.
