Doesn't one of the regional outsourcing black holes come up for renewal in about 2 years? I think it was one of the smaller ones with SKYW but I'm not sure who its with. Agree to end that and reduce the outsourced "large RJ's" by the same amount. 25% on day 1, then 10% on 1 year after signing (to make up for the 5% we lost over the last year as well as covering the next year) plus 1% more B fund plus COLA to our per diem (retroactive to the last time it was increased) a massive vacation overhaul in our favor and enough line holder and reserve work rule changes to make 2 more years palatable, reigning in the AK code share abuses, future guarantees of DL pilot beneficial JV's if any more are sought, early openers again with accelerated mediation language and guaranteed COLA plus an initial 10-20% at the end of 2 years if we haven't reached an agreement, fix the use it or lose it sick pay system and I would consider such an extension (depending on every single other line of fine print in the entire contract, any one bad line of which could torpedo the entire thing).

That would be a net 37ish% in 366 days with partial scope recapture/strengthening at all 3 levels of our airline plus the necessary improvements required to press on in the interim.

Oh and 33% more underboob. That is a strike item.
