I'm not a whiz, I know UALPA has very intelligent folks who will though.

I think it will actually be closer to 16% for the DAL pilots. With 15% 401k added that would be roughly 18.4%.... Maybe that's where the APA guys are inferring their 19% number?
It's been postulated that the 5% in Oct. was to try and rile up the the American employees during merger contract talks, and to help stave off an FA union drive at DAL. Nobody knows for sure, but let's be real, it probably wasn't purely "out of the goodness of their hearts" by management to pay it early.
