One of the bullet points for this IBI was upgrades. The company proposal to check that box was embarrassing.
I’m just not sure how you come to that conclusion my friend.
SICs are adding:
1) Longevity Pay Bonus
2) Over 40K Payscales
3) The same $ amount as PICs for FDPP, NP and NDP.
4) Signing Bonus same formula/dollars as used for PICs.
The upgrades will continue as long as the economy is hot. This isn’t a CBA dependent that you have... it’s about the economy. In fact, the upgrades you see now may just precoursor chapters yet to come where a surplus of captains in the pocket might be a great thing.
And for the record... no economy can be propped up by any CBA.
