Thanks..
For the record, since the company is now doling out CA pay to the senior FOs, if they hire more DECs, all FOs should be getting CA pay rates.

As for bypass pay, the Company firmly believes it's one-for-one. The language for bypass pay reads:

The Company's logic is that "a" is defined as "used with units of measurement to mean one such unit." They argue that it if bypass pay were to apply to all pilots senior to one such junior pilot in a higher paying status, the language should read "Any/All/Every pilot will be pay protected when a junior pilot..."

DECs for Silver?
DEC's are doubtful for now. Some of the DEC's from the last hiring stint will more than likely be downgraded for a short time once CLE closes as a base and there is a new system staffing bid.
