Key Features and Changes:
  • Effective upon signing, implement a seniority-based flow up procedure to American/US Airways with a minimum flow of 36 PDT pilots per year. No interview is required, nor are PDT pilots required to have a college degree.
  • Establish new minimum fleet size of at least 20 aircraft for a ten-year period to ensure adequate flying for PDT pilots who decline to flow up to mainline.
  • Establish new jet rates for 37-44, 45-59 and 60-76 seat aircraft.
  • Unless EMB-175 aircraft come to PDT, Dash 8 pay continues to use a 25-year longevity scale with annual increases for the life of the agreement. The Dash 8-300 end rate is $97.18 per hour. The Dash 8-100 end rate is 85.80 per hour.
  • If EMB-175 aircraft come to PDT, Captains and First Officers on the EMB-175 and Dash 8 will be capped at 12 and 4 years longevity, respectively, along with the same longevity caps on smaller jets, but pilots above the new maximum longevity scales will be "grandfathered" and remain at their actual longevity pay rate. All pay rates will continue to increase annually for the life of the agreement.
  • After jet aircraft are placed in revenue service, daily vacation pay will be 4.2 hours.
  • After jet aircraft are placed in revenue service, pilots will start to accrue sick leave at 3.5 hours a month.
  • After jet aircraft are placed in revenue service, a Captain (F/O) who completes training in a new Category, won't be awarded another Category for a period of 12 months (24 months for F/O) unless displaced (or permits Captain upgrade for F/O).
  • After the 4th jet aircraft is placed in revenue service, pilot contributions for medical coverage will increase. The first year after placement of the 4th aircraft the contribution will be 18% of the premium cost; the second year after placement of the 4th aircraft will be 23%; the third year will be 28%; the fourth year will be 33%; and the sixth year will be 35%.
  • Provide different Association options to re-open new agreement over its 10-year duration including, 2018 and 2021 negotiation and private mediation periods.
  • American Airlines Group (AAG), American Airlines (AA) and US Airways, Inc. will all sign the Career Opportunities (flow-up) and Aircraft Commitments Letters of Agreement to ensure that they are contractually bound and subject to an arbitration award.
