If more than one (1) involuntary displacement satisfies this provision, the highest rate applicable shall be used. This provision shall not apply if the Pilot would receive a lesser rate than provided for under Section 7-G-1 if the last hourly rate actually received for the higher paying Category was at a lower longevity step than the Category from which he was furloughed (e.g., 2 year 756 First Officer rate vs. 3 year 737 First Officer rate).
A MPG cut would still affect these folks. Anyone flying NB F/O who was not displaced from a higher category (a very large percentage of the potential furloughs) would get hurt by either an MPG cut or hourly rate cut prior to furlough.
