Thanks all!
Look at both the Options and Flexjet pages on this site. The bases are the same for both sides now I believe. As for pay, you need to remember this is a "merged" CBA based on the Options contract, not a new JCBA. Management fought very hard for this, and while it is true the arbitrator may change pay somewhat, we will not have across the board raises. You should expect new hire pay to match the Options rates on this site. If there is improvement on that, well and good. But don't expect it. The quality of hotels is not what it was when we were Bombardier. We stay at a lot of Country Inn and Suites, Comfort Inns and Holiday Inn Expresses. Gone are the days of Hilton properties. Life on the road consists of 3-6 legs per days. 11 hours of duty is a spa day. On a 6 day rotation expect 5 days of 12+ hour duty and your long layover will be less than 12 hours. Even the good old boys are complaining about the duty days. Hopefully there will be some positive changes from this arbitration, but this is today's reality.
