Additionally, in the future these aircraft will likely continue to see airline managements demand more flexible terms. For instance, duty rigs, trip rigs and international pay won't apply and quite possibly, reduced 401(k) provisions as well. AA pilots can eventually expect 13-16% 401(k) contributions, but I'll bet new-hires in those aircraft will not see that contribution until graduating to G2 aircraft or higher.
So basically, YES. "G1" aircraft will be on a B-scale workrule as well as a B-scale hourly compensation package. Almost sounds like UAL during the BK. Eliminate the monthly flying cap for narrow body as well as the trip/duty rigs and fly them close to FAR limits.
Might as well bring back the Crandal era B-scale with a flowthough, pretty much be the SAME thing.
