Implementation Schedule for new CBA
As mentioned in a previous Coconut Wireless, it is best if you download our new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Here is a link. If you save it to your computer as a PDF file (File>Save As), you can then open the file and search by keyword. On pages 316-344 you will find the implementation schedule. Some provisions become effective at Date Of Signing (DOS), some at DOS+ implementation to be developed by the Joint Implementation Team (JIT), and others once we are all on the common Crew Management System (CMS) which is expected to take 12-18 months.
The new hourly rates of pay ($62/hour top out pay) will take effect beginning with the September bid month (August 30th) and be reflected in the October 1st paycheck. The incentive pay will also begin with the September bid month, but may require payment retroactively if the system is not in place to capture. The $2/hour International Override will take effect at DOS+ implementation to be developed by the Joint Implementation Team (JIT). As a reminder, the International Over Ride will apply to all flying outside the contiguous 48 United States and Canada.
