We have a unique situation. A new airplane on the property that pays less than our highest payrate. We haven't had that before.
That is why the CBA doesn't handle this situation perfectly. It will take some good negotiating to get this thing right. And I don't mean to choke the golden goose. Just to entice the right people to do the right job at the right price.
