I hope you guys manage to sort this one out amicably~and fairly quickly.I'm with another "wholly-owned subsidiary" , which has been wholly owned for quite some time now.We may be about to be merged with a franchise company , or indeed lumped in with EOG/CFE~if anybody knows they aren't saying.
I personally think that the ultimate management aim is to create an A & B pay scale , a la Cathay. I have to be honest , this could be great if it gave me the chance to fly larger aircraft , and I would have to swallow hard to support a full integration of P&C and seniority , because I wouild not be much better off , as far as I can see.
That said , I am all for fairness and compromise (I hope) , but I can't help thinking that management will announce at some date that the seniority integration is too difficult , and what with natural wastage some B scale pilots will eventually wind up flying first BAR , then longhaul ac and routes. Needless to say , all cep's will wind up on the B scale.
Hope I'm wrong , good luck with sorting the mess out , there are a couple of contentious points still in the pipeline , and remember the old adage "Divide and Rule".
