They also need to make the argument that profit sharing should be left out of the calculus, balanced against the annuitized value of Americans frozen retirement, or whatever keeps it off the table.

Sick leave and work rules will be status quo. There's zero compelling argument to pattern those down.

There should be a viable argument for an annuity in the individual pilots name (to avoid any loss) due to profitability and the shaky ground the pbgc is on. 2.5% accrual per year based on pilot earnings that year 100% funded starting in 2016. Averts any danger of loss.

Daily pay rate for everything (vac, trng, etc.) and accrual matches fedex since our profits were 2x theirs.

Anything else.

Btw, this is not my dream list. This seems readily achievable to me through mediation. My dream list is restoration plus...achievable by a job action. But, we already agreed to mediation.
