This pay protection will be at 100% of line value that the Pilot would have held in that new Status. If a Pilot declines training in seniority, he will forfeit eligibility for pay protection.
If thats the case, the entire pilot group should be making Saab pay.
Well just hope they're expeditious in that. Especially since they have not made any official mention about pay rates. I know our IOE captains who were told to delay training into the saab are being paid saab Capt pay for the delay.
