You will not see our guys (APA) approving any such scheme to bypass seniority pay rates. That would be like a B-scale. Having 2 new hires in class, one on 1st year pay, and another on some other step isn't likely to happen.
Stick to realistic goals that can be reached in a short period of time; you do not have the time to enter into 4 party negotiations for numbers schemes.
