AA TA - Industry Rate Comparables (DOS+36)
I just ran some quick numbers, so correct me if errors are found.
12 - Year Captain (737-800 or A-320, whichever fleet number is greater)
Delta $210 (New contract)
Continental $150 (Current contract)
United $137 (Current contract)
America West $138 (Current contract)
US Airways $125 (Current contract)
Total = $760 / 5 = $152
American $174.46 (New contract) resets to $152 or a 13% paycut.
That paycut then is applied across all categories of hourly pay.
I would, however, assume that United and Continental will have a new contract that would diminish the paycut. With that said, even if United matches Delta 737-800 12-year Captain pay, it would still result in a small paycut across the board for AA.
