It appears that ALPA's jets4jobs is now directly influencing the payrates that are negotiated for FOs. Apparantly the CHQ negotiating committee did not want to exert much negotiating capital on seats that would be mostly furloughed mainline pilots. The problem is that this will start a new pattern in FO pay. Will ALPA ever learn about the "law of unintended consequences"?
==============================================
From the Union:
J4J is in the contract as a LOA. (30 airplanes) Since all U J4J FO's get top FO pay, the 6 year scale went to 4.
The one FO scale is so if we operate a different type of AC, under a codeshare, it would be for a J4J deal for the pilot group as well. That would allow the FO's now to not be hosed due to the equipement they are frozen into. The non-U J4J pilots would be hired into the new equipment. This pilot group does not have the abusive J4J protocols of U. They just want pref. hiring (5 per plane).
