As a person who actually receives at paycheck from ATI under this program. I can factually tell you and show you my pay stub. It is new-hire pay from day one. ATI, the company I work for, pays me only for the number of years that I have worked for ATI....no more...no less.

If I get money from FDX, AAL, or ABX (or wherever I worked before coming to here), from a provision that my brethren and I negotiated while I was there....what business is that of yours....or anyone else's? Now I'm guessing you want to know what my wife earns and from whom as well.

As for the rest....Oddly, the management team does lean somewhat towards CCI pilots regarding furlough and recall. Reducing current/qualified 767 pilots and recalling B727 pilots, only to retrain them to 75/76, is expensive and only has short term financial gains. These decisions are from a group that within short periods of time, keep 2 separate facilities (MCO/LIT) then move them all to ILN. Every email or statement is changed within a week reflecting a different position, resulting in a airline that moves a lot in a stationary position, but never gaining any forward momentum or result.

Finally, ATI has no 'contact staffing requirements' as you put it. I recognize that you are new to the JCBA as there is nothing familiar to you in the document. The CCI contract did not bring anything to the table in merging (that is a hint for those of you in the cheap seats...).
