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
The problem is those benefits aren't going to be given to the ASA side if smartpref is actually used. The ERJ will keep it but the ASA guys won't get it. So we lose our QOL with Flightline and don't get anything in return.
