OK I can agree with that in principal. However if we try to combine it all in one TA, the entire percentage will be sold as the "raise". If, for example, someone's minumim was 20% on DOS, even if we got that, if 14% of it was PS elimination, it was only a 6% DOS raise if you bifurcate the issue. That's why we should leave it out this time around, and just focus on the raise WRT section 3 (with Section 1 always being the most important) and other sections. Then, after that, we can merely move PS money to guaranteed money.
I don't think the company will ever fully transfer PS money to guaranteed money outside of a broad section 6 though, because they know how powerful an cursory scan of the pay tables can be.
Every other group has been restored to pre BK pay except the pilots. There is no need to help them "hide" any raises until and unless our pay exceeds that at the very least.
