Using this logic the payrates should be equal across the board. They aren't so certain groups were "carved out" also, why the different rules for global and basic. Another carve out. Year 1 pilots get a 98% raise. WOW. I want that. I was "carved out" because I'm 12 yrs + so I didn't get a 98% raise. CAL guys get an increase in their B plan contribution. I won't. Another carve out.
I don't disagree that every pilot should get full pay longevity, but this is an ADDED thing that we currently don't have. So the argument is that it should have been even better.
