They won't be able to force you over your 84 hour line, even at the highest ALV of the year. DPA doesn't change under the TA. ADG is added for the rare 88 day with a DH only. How exactly will you be working more that you currently are? Also, you'll be paid more than 20% more (88 guys get the extra bump to 90 pay) for that 84 hours in 2.5 years.

Here's a simple math exercise:

84 hour line at $100.14/hr (5 year 88 FO - current contract) = $8,411.76

84 hour line at $123.36/hr (still 5 year 88 FO - TA on 1/1/2015) = $10,362.24

I didn't include longevity steps for this pilot to keep it apples-to-apples. The difference = $1950.48/month

So you will be working the same number of days (to get the same monthly line) for nearly an extra $2000/month in 2.5 years. This is on the 2nd smallest paying aircraft we have.

I'm still failing to see what you're concerned with?? If you want to work a little less, then bid a lower time line - same as today.
