Well, that's the thing about waiting for the TA to see what is there. I have no idea why the notepad dropped these little nuggets, who is to say this is something DALPA is wanting vs the company wanting and DALPA is floating it out there for reaction or to allow for specific dialogue and feedback between reps and the pilots to prove a point to the company?
I don't know, it's bread crumbs on the floor with no idea what's at the table.
It could be nothing more than relief with the ALV limit in exchange for gains elsewhere. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
But if it was just what has been shown, well, I don't feel very confident that the TA (which if it makes it to the pilot group will be passed imho) is all that good for where we all. We shall see. But hey, when the FA's say "the pilots got a 10% raise, why not us?" The company can counter, we'll match your pay to theirs as a percentage of what you were getting prior to bankruptcy... so here's your pay cut."
