It's not arguable sailingfun. We signed the new contract in Summer of 2012. It's amendable on January 1, 2016. That's 3.5 years.

Carl today 340.00 effective pay rate with the DC plan and profit sharing.
Carls effective raise since the merger by the totally worthless ALPA?
90% plus a bit!
Epic fail according to Carl!
First, who asked anyone to feel bad for anyone?
Second, comparing pay rates only, with pay rates plus DC plus profit sharing is disingenuous. Everyone (except you) will see that.
Third, what does any of that have to do with ALPA's E&FA guys recommending an acceptance of 3%, 3% during these wildly profitable times?
