I think 3 or 4 have gone over. They had all been here at least two or three years. The LOA opens it up for those who are off of seat lock- after 2 years, but if nobody bids it, I believe someone still on lock can bid it, but they will have to pay for their own type- a very expensive choice. FOs are also locked in for 3 more years once they make the switch. Anyone who has been here 2 years will be upgrading soon and making a ton more money as a captain at NJA than as an FO at NJI. I guess they could make some good money on the side as contract pilots, but not such a good deal overall. The class 4 pay scale goes by years in class 4 aircraft- you start at year one pay- and that is 50K. I know the wording for captains states that they will receive the higher of average pay for those already at NJI for each year of service or what is on the pay scale. I don't know if the same wording is in it for FOs and this would be big since I've heard average first year FO pay is about 65K vs. the 50K on the NJA class 4 pay scale.
