...or maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves. Where is this Delta +3%, exactly?

I'm reading this, from one part of jpl's newsletter:

Starting point is current green book.
5.5% raise on date of signing
3% / yrs 2-6, then avg of UAL/DAL

and this, from another part:

DAL + 3% DOS (Date of Signing)
2 Years completed....DAL equal (Delta pilots in negotiations now)
5 Years completed...DAL/UAL average

The first set of notes is "from an APA meeting", the second part is "what's floating around DFW". I have no idea what the actual agreement is, but maybe it isn't actually benchmarked to ours. Sounds like maybe it's benchmarked to our current payrates, and that there is a lag before it increases, based on us and UCAL.

Like a 6-year lag. From DOS, no less.

Maybe we shouldn't celebrate just quite yet.
