Really? Which part of this article said that:
Credit Suisse noted that the fixed increase of 15% by the amendable date is slightly more than it expected, but the profit sharing offset is more significant at this point. With the 20% profit sharing threshold moving to $6 billion for all employees, the firm expects approximately $500 million of potential savings, compared to $2.5 billion of threshold. The firm believes that this will be large enough saving to offset the fixed increase of 15% for pilots, giving extra cost of approximately $400 million.

3. 3.b.4 will surely be triggered again and we will probably get around a 3% raise (a guess on my part)
4. 75% of LCA trips pulled out affects every FO in that category not just 180
5. More large RJ to DCI
6. JV metric changed to block hours from EASK's and lowered.
7. Only 1% to DC plan and that not until 2017
8. 5 to 10 cents more on per diem, puhleeze
9. Sick leave debacle. Third party verification? Not good if true
10. Vacation and training only adding 15 minutes a day?
11. New hire training freeze now 24 months? Throw the new hire under the bus
These off the top of my head......

So, ALPA puts out a list of approximately 60 improvements, and your counter is 11 "cons" of which 2 aren't even true and 3 are actually improvements
