Nice way to divide the pilots. Why negotiate a pay raise for everyone if you can negotiate a pay raise for just some pilots, right?
How does it infringe on seniority when all of them start at the bottom of the seniority list?
If I fly with one of them, it won't affect me one bit. I'll be happy for the guy for not having to start over at first year pay. And I'll still buy the first round.
