It's not that ambiguous.
The actual statement was "flight attendants [...] will be receiving 200% pay", which means they'll be getting double their pay. If the statement had been "flight attendants will receive a 200% pay increase", then that'd be triple their pay.
The actual confusion was caused by the fact that pilots will receive triple pay through an overlapping period.
- ghaff 5y ago"Will be receiving twice their pay" would be even less ambiguous though. I'm always unsure about the parsing of statements like these. "If the statement had been "flight attendants will receive a 200% pay increase", then that'd be triple their pay." I'd be very uncertain what the writer meant by this even if your interpretation is the technically correct one.
