The first time or second?First time arbitrator ruled in favor of PASS the FAA did nothing.When it was litigated again and another arbitrator found out the FAA had still done nothing to get the techinician numbers back up to the agreed upon 6100, he was pissed and added another stipulation that the 6100 number has to be maintained 16 months into the next CBA...guess the FAA is finally making a push to get the number up to 6100 before the next contract comes into effect!If you do get a firm job offer from the FAA on the low side,i.e. close to the bottom of the pay band(s), it is in your best interest to try and negotiate your pay.If they offer you bottom of the G band to start out, try negotiating your pay for near the top of the F band instead and you will make more money in the end after 2 seperate +8% increases up to final H band (+8% everytime you move up into a new pay band) then if you took the bottom of G band and only get 1 +8% increase into the H band (journeyman level)!
