These are widebody jobs meaning more pilots per airframe and towards the top of the payscales. It will be interesting to see how this is settled once a grievance is filed. I do not want to see it rolled into C2015 as some here have pontificated.
This forum stated that it would be rolled into the VA agreement many times. That did not happen. We are expected as part of the grievance process to try and reach a settlement with the company. I fully expect the MEC to file a grievance this spring. If we will reach a settlement with the company prior to going to the arbitrator I have no idea. The shortfall is not however as large as some perceive. Some value will have to be attached to the shortfall at some point in the process via a settlement or the arbitrator.
