The group's total pay goes down, and career earnings potential will drop as well. There are assumptions that I made with respect to fleet, but I used all current models and orders and removed only the 75/76s and M80s.

I disagree with you on training. If you are making the same on a 737 as you would on an A320, why go to training? It is the transition that has everyone perplexed. Once it is in place, there is zero reason to go to training unless you just want to fly a particular type of airframe for whatever reason. And at that point, who cares about freezes?
