, you will not be on probation.
I could be wrong though.
Yeah, no probation.
First year guys like us won't matter. $32.46 (unless CAL's first year is higher, which I don't think is yet?) until we've been at CAL for a year, then second year CAL rate.
For the 5 year example you talk about, it will be what ever pay is higher. SO lets say a 777 FO get furloughed from UAL @ $116, s/he would stay at that rate until the CAL rate exceeds it (6 year Wide FO = $119). If no SLI or new contract, basically a six year pay freeze.
It is the HIGHER of the rate you were getting at UAL, or the years of service at CAL.
I'm just trying to get back on the list....
