The worst case estimated projection for June if 75% of the PBS OE trips were removed would be 302 trips removed.
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.
I am not voting no to protect excessive greenslip flying for FOs. Sorry. I have enough other reasons. If we are going to do that then captains pay increases need to be much more than FOs. Some on here count GS pay as if it were regular compensation. OK, if that is the case, then FO rates are too high relative to CA rates.
bring it on!
