All right, so I don't want to sound ignorant...but what's with the different pay scales? How's that work, are the new guys still working 7&7?
This is as I understand it today. It may change tomorrow when I see the full document.
7/7 is the same as today. Work 7 days, off 7 days.
15 day flex, is a 15 day work month - max. You have no control of the schedule. The max days on is 5. 1 day on gives you a min of 3 days off. This sched is fixed (max/min) at 10% for fleet/seat. No H-days.
18 day is a fixed schedule. This sched is posted on the 15th of the month prior. There is supposedly going to be a preferintial (sp?) bidding system. No H-days. No limit to the amount of people on the sched. This is the default schedule for trainees, new hires, upgrades, etc.
I misread it at first as well, it seems like the middle column is for all FO under 40K lbs. The 15 Flex sounds great but it seems like only 10% of all seats per fleet with no Holidays, so I imagine those seats will go very senior.
Either way, the increase is great and has absolutely cemented me at NJA until retirement, unless something unforeseen happens. I start on Monday, I can't wait to get there. :-)
Is this set in stone or does it have to go to a vote? If so, then is it tied to the package that includes the new domicile system? Or am I completely out of the loop and the vote has already occurred?

This pay, 100 bases and several other areas of the contract will be voted on in oct or nov.
And, does this mean that new hires MUST work the 18 day schedule.... no option for 7/7? That would be a downer for us guys looking for stability in schedule.
