OK...thanks for the additional links and posts with the specific verbiage.
Now, who has the time and spreadsheet skills to calculate how much lines would have been "bought up" under this new system since the implementation of 4A2B (...Feb 09 bidpacks to date)??
I'm sure both the company and the union have done this type of analysis in order to come up with this agreement.
It will be good to see the actual hard numbers broken out by bidpack and seat position.

They're laughing all the way to the bank. We just roll over and stick our collective butts in the air when it comes to stuff like this. It took months to get certain pay improvements in our current contract started due to "programming issues". Now, although our pay reduction began as if someone threw a light switch, going the other direction has to be "phased in". We wouldn't want to put any undue strain on the financial situation of this corporation - Lord knows the fraction of a single percent that these buy-ups represent could topple the house of card.
Better take it slow.

Being that the Company agreed to any kind of buy-up or exit strategy from 4a2b with no apparent give up from us tells me that we are probably very close to exiting anyway. I would doubt if the buy-up actually comes into play for anyone. The 727 might realize a few hours of buy-up before an exit, and they surely deserve it.
