They know they can never pull back on their "temporary" rates at the regionals or recruiting would instantly dry up. Paying less for the C series and the same for RJs is their workaround. It's smart and I can't believe the union fell for it.
Trust me, I’m the first guy to start running worst case scenarios in my head and hypothesize on how the company is trying to screw us. This blended rate thing needs more context. Just wait for the final language. We’ll have plenty of time to go through the whole TA in final language with a fine tooth comb, as well as grill APA about these types of scenarios at roadshows.
