I doesn't work like that. When you move to the line you move work groups and go to year one pay on the pilot scale, and to the bottom of the pilot seniority list for bidding purposes.

I do believe you keep you longevity for some things like vacation (weeks awarded, not bid seniority of bidding).

If they are paying more I think that's a great thing...I'm just doubtful of that "$170k" number until an explanation/breakdown is given and it's explained how that works with the current FTCI contract. Hopefully an agreement was made that benefits ALL of the FTCIs.
