I don't think the NSL will work out. It has some merits but I don't think you could overcome the airline's reluctance to this. They don't want to hire more expensive guys. I think what we should be working on is a national wage rate. I think this has a better shot at working. Pilot reps from each airline, (union and non-union) work with managements from each airline and establish a standard wage for aircraft type. They could pay more if they wanted but could not pay less. Management likes to have things known down the road. If this happened then all the airlines would be on the same sheet in regards to pilot pay and we as pilots would have more stability. This may come to bite us in the ass though if the wage agreed upon sucks.
