You mean, will the pay to fly 717s drop $45,000 when they move from the west side of concourse C to the east side of concourse B?
Well I think if AT 717 pilots were on SWA 737 rates right now and we voted this contract in then that's exactly what would happen for a 12 year FO under our new TA.
I think by the time 2015 rolls around and 717s come over it'll be a $12K difference for a Captain. But that is
if AT pilots by then are on 737 rates and SWA never gets a raise.
