Why would anybody complain about that???

If approved by management, they've given up nothing and a few senior FOs gain what is basically a COL adjustment. Additionally, it wouldn't really affect negotiations for the new CBA going forward because all this amounts to is an extension of the current book rates.

Is that really so hard to understand?
