How does DALPA get away with saying that with a straight face when the payrates don't exceed the ones from over 10 years ago when adjusted for inflation not to mention the huge disparity in QOL items? Do I have my math or info wrong? This is an honest question.
I believe he is referencing the gain in dollar value over the life of the contract. I suspect but don't know that it does not include the potential loss of about 375 million in profit sharing over the life of the contract. Also in referencing it to contract 2001 we had about 10000 pilots verses 12500 today. If rationalized for the relative size of the pilot groups contact 01 would be worth more.
