Lets at least try and keep it in context Sunfish.
The 350 pay scale as depicted in the webinars is a slight pay increase over the 330 and 787 as discussed above.
Your comment is accurate when compared to the 380 conditions. Thats assuming the 350 replaces the 380, which I believe it will do so eventually.
Don't for a second believe the company will pay you the same amount of money to fly a 350, as you are a 380. Thats ridiculous and will never happen. It's a legacy contract. A dying legacy contract, on a dying aircraft. The 4 engines jets are done. Over. Finished. Welcome to the reality of aviation economics.
Answer this question for me. What replaces the 380 at mainline when you vote NO, and the 350 contract is setup at the new entity?
