That will trickle down thru the whole list on each aircraft..Also, what are we getting in return if we give up the huge concession? Because it sure isn't a pay raise to make up for it with the profit sharing reduction figured in.
It's a triple concession:
1. Less 'good' trips for F/O's to bid
2. Less F/O's required in every category (that's why management wants it)
3. Less money paid to 75% of the F/O's who used to drop LCA trips and pick up a GS (that's also why management wanted this)
Less time off, less money, less hiring oh, an less quality trips remaining.
Yeah, it's a concession.
