We approached the company about tying some of the 12/4 cap language to the flow through provisions. The negotiating committee developed and presented four different methods to tie the flow through to the longevity caps. In one example, Pay Step 17 would not disappear until all Step 17 captains had flown through. Therefore, if the flow through were to stop, pilots would still be able to achieve Pay Step 16. The company representatives refused to entertain any concept of tying the flow through to the longevity step reductions.
