I wrote this....
"If we are successful in increasing the A fund FAE limit, I think we should tie it to other portions of our contract rates.
Perhaps, WB Capt or NB Capt x 1,000 hours --- then fill in the missing value with B fund enhancements
I don't think the company will agree to an A fund cap that captures our highest earners, and all the extra hours & various payments they may strive for in their final years --- that era won't return"
Then Tony responded with this...

Maybe we should start the bidding at 1,200.
.
So, assuming we were able to negotiate a raise to the cap, what should the limit be?
Should it be tied to a rate & set credit hours like suggested above?
Should it be retroactive?
