It may not raise the bar on the top end of the wide body pay rate, which is what you need for your snap up, but it raises it on narrow body. It raises the bar on holiday pay days. It raises the bar on vacation accrual, it raises the bar on pairing distribution. It raises the bar on a shorter reassignment window.
Go ask your negotiation chair where they found support to bring the A330 and 767-4 into the A350 pay category. I think you might be surprised who raised the bar for you there too.
