Word is that UAL can only get about 35-40% of the stated benefit, because of various factors, so it could be closer to the 1-1.5% mark for the junior lineholder, less for the more senior. Still a philosophical problem in a category with a lot of training, and not at all in categories with no LCA's.
It's not a philosophical problem. It's diminishing seniority. The reason it's FOs only is because captains, by knowledge of experience know how valuable seniority is. Where is the 2.76% number coming from?
With turn high turnover upcoming and all the OE for all positions coming out of FO lines this is low for sure. The cascading affects will impact all of the bottom 75% of FOs. Combined with tightening reserves required formula, trip swaps and drops to try to mitigate the effect will be impossible. If the evaluation was with historical data we already know it is wrong.
