Ok, I'll give you the example.
And this in not me as I did not get a whole month of 764 flying.. I was lucky to get 2 or 3 trips a month (IRO) but I did work the system and got 100hrs a month and still slept in my own bed half the month!
Pilot A use to get 80 hours on 764. International.
$19600. Plus $3186 into his/her 401k
Now he/she has lost all their 400 flying but still a lineholder-
75hrs Domestic and mix of 75-2 and 76-3
He/she is now getting $15000 plus only $2400 into retirement.
Under I.2.a.i
IF he/she is still a line holder, they will get 63:00 based on 55% Middle/Top group.
$12600 plus $2016 retirement.
So.. said pilot made roughly $22800 summer of 2019.
Summer of 2020 they made $17400
Summer of 2021 they will be looking at $14600
And keep in mind. Said pilot choose to sit top 10% on the 756 for numerous reasons. QoL, Pay (maybe they got bought off trips for IOE) Not wanting to go to training due to vacation of something else in their life.. who knows.
But now-
They are being prevented from bidding into a higher seat THAT THEY CAN HOLD and now junior pilots who are being displaced will be in their same BES and making slightly more!
Again-

If I am wrong, please show me the math.
