Yeah I'm aware of that, thank you.
Still would rather be furloughed under current CBA where I know I'll spend shorter time on furlough because of a higher wet-lease penalty that will make wet leasing less practical.
To me that would beat getting some laughable amount of $$ on a wet-lease check while I watch ATLAS/Sun Country/MESA/ATI/Hawaiian/Western Global/Amerijet fly our freight. Besides, that wetlease check will probably just reduce my unemployment check... so its really not giving me any extra money that I wouldn't have had anyway.
Under TA penalty can be up to 2.5 times Current CBA penalty…also, with TA, payrates are higher therefore penalty is higher, so under TA if you were furloughed, you’d see a lot more money, so you’d probably rather be furloughed under the TA instead of CBA… it would suck either way and hope it doesn’t happen for you…
This is not true at all. The TA penalty will be significantly less than the current CBA penalty due to them using block hours instead of credit hours, and they will be able to wetlease a lot more lift for a lot less money. They'll gain a bunch of free wetleasing before they even trigger the scope penalty payments, and then after that they'll get reduced scope penalty payments until they trigger the full 2x SPR payment, which will still be discount for them over current book due to the new formula.
