While we should shoot for the moon, I'll settle for AA pay scales. 12 year 747 Capt. at $241/hr. 12 year 747 FO at 164/hr. 16% 401K DC Contribution starting 1/2014. Future contractual pay raises: Variable percentage every year through 2018. Pay parity review with UA and DL in 2016. And I wouldn't expect to "see the others ratchet down in the next couple of years" with DAL net profit in 2013 at 10.54 Billion dollars and UAL at 571 Million.
While it sounds like you have all the answers that nobody else ever could about the next contract perhaps we should listen to alternative ideas until the union opens contract talks, sort of like CRM. However, this particular thread is probably not the best place to air out explicit "discussions" about ideas for the next contract. What readers of a hiring thread about Atlas should probably see are the basic plusses and minuses of our current contract, and the fact that we are working hard to make significant improvements in the next one. Anything else could veer a discussion about Atlas hiring waaaay off course.
