Funded by reductions in profit sharing makes it just another COLA increase.
Wow...a 12.8% pay bump at the amendable date? Awesome! I take it all back. You DALPA apologists were right...I guess it's not a COLA contract after all.
After what you've just posted above, you're nobody to describe ANYTHING as wildly inaccurate.
This is an example of why DALPA and its loyal apologists have lost so much trust and credibility. You'd do so much to help yourself if you'd just come clean as Tumbleweed suggests. Dream on I guess

Carl, it's a shame you never even read the contract you complain so much about. The amendable date of the contract was 1 Jan 2013. The raise on that date totaled 12.8 percent on the pay tables. 4 percent of that was put into effect early as some kind of signing bonus. Reserve pay should now end up on average around 75.5 hours. That is about another 8 percent.
These cost neutral changes as you call them are why your total compensation is going to be up over 120,000 a year since the merger and your hourly rate up over 120 per hour including the DC next JAN.
