Nobody is shooting for industry standard anyway, so it’s all a moot point. Industry leading hourly rates of pay.
When a new wide body (larger than the MD) was to come on property, the intent was to have it pay above the WB rate. Just like the A380 rates. We lost the grievance, but made up for it through BKO.
Not a very good history lesson. Our Airbus rates have always been lumped in with our other WB rates. They were nevery tied to Legacy rates.
We negotiated for BKO at the same time we negotiated for the A380 rates. We didn't make up for anything with the BKO we already had.
