ahhh ok. understood.
Obviously, it would be ideal that everyone get the extra retirement contribution.
I was just amazed at the roadshow for the jcba how an asa rep answered a question that it was the best deal for everyone when he was going to get a raise as a senior asa guy and i was keeping my old rate (3 cent/hr raise) PLUS losing my DC plan (i.e. pay cut).
This is going to be the main problem with a new jcba, the asa folks have to be brought up to the l-xjt level benefits - isn't that an argument why the asa mec should give up on flightline ... your pilots are going to be getting much more out of a new jcba than the erj guys, a little give and take
