In the end, said FO would make $24K more in flight pay, lose $5.6K in PS, make $2.7K more in 401K, come out $21.2K ahead for entire year of 2016 with TA2015 vs no TA.
For 7B PTIX, comes out $16.5K.
Now had TA2015 been same pay rates and PS untouched, he'd come out $19K ahead of where TA2015 puts them.
Now, take the same senior F/O and take away 1 10:30 LCA trip per month away from him and the resultant 10:30 greenie. And on top of that, consider that he doesn't upgrade to Capt for another few years due to loss of WB flying and conversion of 747s to E190s.
