So, 302 / 3,912 = 7.7% less.
92.3% of green slips would remain. And as summer kicks in I bet the green slips for June would be closer to 5,000 thus leaving 4,700 green slips. Hardly a devastating loss.
And 100% of copilots will make 21.5% more on those green slips as well as regular pay in 2018.
You could be making 8% more on green slips and straight pay right now if the TA is approved.
It's a complete myth that green slips will disappear with this negotiated trade off.
Do you ever get tired of getting your tail kicked? Anyway, in the NY FO er category every FO is getting at least 2 greenslips a month. The future looks like even more as training is only forcast to increase. So with this TA at 7-10 % loss, we are tallking at least 2 greenslips per pilot per year. Which if you assume 50 trips per year...equates to at least 8% pay cut. There goes your pay raise plus u get all the rest of the $hit that comes with this POS TA at a time of unheard of record profits.
