No. Not quite sure what your asking with question 2 but I’ll try and explain another way. We know that the company will have to raise first year pay from the proposed 39 first year to attract new hires at some point in the near future. When they do that it can never be lowered and can’t go above year 2 (that’s what I believe the contractual language will be but don’t know for sure?) The reason that was done was to lower the overall cost of the entire proposal and shift that saving to other areas. We should know what it’s going to be in a few days. We will know for sure what the language is and no idea if the company will publish a different number at that point. Right now classes are filling so it might not come off the 39 immediately. IMO.
