We get 2x like a GS, but the company would be required to pay 4x for the trip
if they skip both the normal steps of coverage
and the Quick Slip step. "In these instances, the Company will pay four times for a rotation (two M7 pilots and double pay for the pilot flying the rotation)." (From the MEC's announcement).
This appears to be very solid to me. It's certainly not something I anticipated them creating in advance of Section 6. If it works (implementation of the QS step is forecast for mid-2026), it will allow us to pivot Section 6 negotiations to other meaningful improvements to the contract, rather than trying to work on this.
Consider me impressed.
