Then, just to keep it fair, we would of course run a huge -rebid- of all those categories, so the junior guys who already have bid up, or have had to commute to get 777 pay, but have been stuck on reserve or flying the crappiest schedules, can bid back down to where they would be senior enough to get off reserve and fly all the best A330 and 767ER layovers, maybe in their home bases too!
Be careful what you ask for, there will be unforeseen consequences if we go to full pay banding.
Rebid? um, no. The normal AE process can take care of it.
