The formatting won't stick with this, but here is the table for PWA Section 3.E.1 from the August, 1990 contract for 2 man aircraft. Note the change of percentage pay (B-scale
reduction) on September 1, 1992. 3 man aircraft (L1011, B727) received the increase to 1980 contract percentages as well.
Year 9/1/90 9/1/92
2 45% 45%
3 54% 54%
4 55% 63.1%
5 57% 64.1%
6 65.2% 65.2%
7 66% 66%
8 67.0% 67%
9 67.2% 67.2%
10 67.6% 67.6%
11 67.7% 67.7%
12 67.8% 67.8%
These same payscale percentages are reflected in the 01 January 1999 payrate table. C2K established year one pay and increased the percentages of year 2 and 3 pay. It also established a greatly increased "entry level pilot" pay and a 400 hour probation period vice the previous calendar year.
