I have a question:
Is someone posting here on the negotiating committee or either MEC? Seriously, because unless you are one of those individuals, how do you know what was determined in regard to the pay banding issue? All I have ever heard is that the issue was resolved and they moved forward.
For all I know that could mean no pay banding, could mean pay banding for all categories, or it could mean pay banding for all but the 747 which will have a separate payscale until they exit the fleet. Seriously, "issue resolved" could mean many different things as I haven't heard one iota more regarding this issue. Details of negotiations and specific language is not supposed to be out for public knowledge until a TA is ready for us to view. I couldn't tell you one thing that is in the contract right now because I haven't gotten any of that information from any communication from the MECs, LEC or talking with reps or negotiators.,
