Sorta. The pay won't be as much and we lose all the TAs that have been approved.
Assuming the loss of 200 wide body FO positions, at $180k each, combining Dom/intl yields a $36mil savings.
Are we getting our monies worth? I would say yes, since the TAs alone are worth an annual $20mil.
We're getting +23% instead of +16%.
Average of $160k per pilot over 14,000 guys, is $180mil in additional compensation from 16% to 23%.
