That makes sense, it would be nice if the company would explain it and not ignore it.
But here's my next question, the actual DECs that they hired (not us weird ones that are in limbo that they upgraded) They are on seniority as CAs and that would mean they are getting CA pay from day 1 of indoc right? My self and the other 5 are still on FO pay (since we were hired as FOs) but we are doing the DEC SOE since we upgraded and never line qualified as FOs. So should we be getting some sort of bypass pay since there are CAs junior to us on seniority now? We 5 hold CA and are on the permanent bid as CAs above the new DECs. Like I said, the company has created quite the problem.

The only mixed info is because people are repeating what other people thought it should be and not the actual info from the new DEC program or asking the people that actually know.

Negative... They are paid as CAs from day 1. They are hired as CAs they are paid as CAs. Again its part of the new DEC program. You had to be hired as a DEC not transitioned for it to be that way. Basically if you got paid the DEC bonus you are paid as a CA from Day 1.

Envoy just signed an LOA that states you get CA pay once awarded captain instead of fed ride. Hopefully piedmont ALPA can negotiate something similar.

You’re both correct. While the “official” DEC program didn’t start until May, those who have the qualifications to be a DEC are being transitioned to DEC except they don’t qualify for the additional financial bonuses. Keep in mind that before Piedmont had an approved DEC program, new hires went almost directly from FO SOE to upgrade training.
Lahey, of course guys are getting hosed when they're making the company money, it's the PDT way. Those DECs are also gonna far outearn you as a CA. I love it
