They would not allow us guys who haven't signed NDAs to see the actual numbers on each side.
ie= the ADG might cost $500 million and the SDPs might save $460 million.
$40 mil net.
Same concept with the manning. Maybe 1114 pilots for the ADG minus 1000 for the SDPs.
net gain of 114 pilots.
I do not know the actual numbers. Only the net. $40 million and 114 pilots.
This is ALPA's costing of this. I'm betting Ed and company (who actually build the schedules and know what they intend to do going forward) may have there own costing with much different results. I believe they are extremely good at what they do and their best interests don't align with ours with respect to this.
The CDO's alone are a NO from me.
Language in other areas (augmentation) need to be narrowed down too in an effort to prevent the "we don't think they would do that...." from biting us in the butt. I'm for waiting until the next contract openers and stop this mess from seeing the light of day.
