GTC,
Thanks for the reply.....your final sentence, though says, "According to that assumption the company has to start paying Freighter FO's pax b-scale somewhere between summer/fall 2011."
Thats my concern. Is this an assumption or Hard and fast FACT and if so who has proclaimed this? The FACA '08 has a vague and ambiguous statement alluding to the fact that all of us go to B Scale when the last commitment is up. But thats it. No where else does it say anything about us going to B scale. If the assumption that we go to b-scale is false, than for those of us in a port that is only freight(ie jfk, atl, ord), cos '08 makes sense as it is higher than being stuck on freight scales indefinately(assuming you did not go to HK).
we shall see...
