At my pay rate it would need to be bumped up by $8.50 just to be equal to Mesaba's current rate (same position, longetivity, aircraft). So if I see an $8 raise like you mentioned, that would mean the new rate would be the same rate as Mesaba's current rate. So that would mean Mesaba wouldn't be getting any hourly pay raise at all. And that's if the pay raise is $8. Anything lower would actually mean a pay cut for Mesaba. Is that so?
