· Pay Rates. The proposal includes significant reductions in pay rates for Captains, ranging (according to the company) from 7 to 24% from current rates. There have also been further reductions in the proposed single First Office rates beyond one year of longevity.
· Pay Scales. The company has proposed capping pay for Captains at 12 “steps” and capping First Officer pay at 4 years of service. Moreover, the company is seeking a provision to require pilots who upgrade to begin at “Step 1” Captain pay, no matter their prior longevity as a First Officer (or, for pilots who have been previously downgraded due to a displacement, their time as a Captain). Such a scheme would be unique in our industry.
· Cancellation Pay. Replacement of our current leg-by-leg cancellation pay with the guarantee based on the value of a pairing (Trip Guarantee).
· Customs Pay. Removal of all customs pay.
· Vacation Accrual. For pilots with more than one year of service, vacation accrual would be reduced by one week.
· Recurrent Pay. Pilots will have their recurrent training blocked off in PBS but zero (0) credit will go towards the line credit. Actual pay for training will remain the same.
· Uniform Allowance. Eliminate uniform allowance.
· Per Diem. Eliminate Per Diem on day trips.
· Move benefits. Eliminate voluntary move benefits.
· Reserve Days Off. Reduction of minimum days off for reserve pilots to 10.
· Deadhead Pay. Reduction in deadhead pay from 75% to 50%.
· Health Care. Instead of the two CDHP plans proposed in the May 8 term sheet, the revised term sheet includes only a single HRA plan, with a 35% pilot contribution.
• 401K. Reduction of the company match to the 401(k) retirement plans – effective 2013.
