That's fine, but for the sake of argument lets say...
In February of 2016 the FAs start another organization drive, perhaps with our assistance. That puts 2 front line labor groups in negotiations during this time frame. Lets also assume they get at least a 3% raise for not organizing in 2016.
The domestic work force is 80,000 employees. The non-pilot domestic work force is 80,000 - 12,750 pilots or 67,250. 30% of 67,250 is 20,175.
Question: How many FAs do we have?
Answer: 20,250 from a new hire intro memo.
We could get an additional 3% not in the TA for 2016, but 2017 is more realistic.
2017 - rinse, repeat
2018 - rinse, repeat
