Otherwise every pilot at the end of the two year draw down will be at top pay scale wage. Seems like a great way to deal with "block hours costs 20% higher than the competition".
No concessions. The company hasn't been worth working for for some time now.
The concessions angle is total bs. They could take a 50% pay cut and not make a dent in their cost structure. The problem is longevity and overhead. I hope they take no pay cuts. We don't need a repeat of the E175 thing.
