Is TSA's contract that was below average at the end of November now average because Envoy's contract isn't as good as it was then? I'm just really curious about this. I'm not trying to give you a hard time.
That's a good point about TSA's contract trending towards above average when three others took concessions. But to answer your question, I believed that the TSA contract was below average. But I was "schooled" (all uncorroborated since to this they no one has agree to post their contract but I give them the benefit of the doubt) in a few TSA contract points. So now I believe that they are average. The contract points that I originally thought were below average were MMG for reserves which I thought was 74, DH pay which I thought was 75%, along with the other things that are below average such as sick accrual and not being able to use it for the first year, the percentage of insurance premiums they pay, vacation pay, and then there were information that wasn't available such as min day pay, commuter policy, and uniform allowance. So on balance the TSA contract is average. I've shown this in many ways by posting comparisons of all contracts, total compensation charts, and a head to head comparison with a contract that is above average with TSA's to show that the above average contract has better matching and contributing funds, better sick accrual, better vacation pay, lower insurance cost sharing, an OJI bank, better LTD benefits, better reserve rules, etc. And that's not even comparing it to the better contracts of AWAC or maybe even horizon.

And I showed you a chart that compares total compensation. TSA is 4 out of 9 in 50 seaters. Your assertion isn't true according to the chart.
