As far as the higher pay is concerned, it's basically the same here. I didn't mean to infer that we got paid prior to finishing training for the new seat, we don't. Like you, the higher pay starts when one is "released to the line", I believe. It's just that we can bank hours from a lower paying seat and then work those hours at the higher pay rate.
