Will paying add pay plus the automatic override lead LCP’s to request their whole schedule to be frozen, or will the company balk at committing to that expense? It will be interesting to see how this plays out, as well as how senior FO’s bid if current loopholes are closed off.
I don’t see the LCP freezing/not freezing being much different than today. They are still subject to the 75%, so unless someone is bidding on one person, it doesn’t seem to change much. The evaporation of PPU probably will have the bigger effect.
