This is the real chart. The other charts are not valid including the one in the email. You can't compare what we would make 4 years from now to what they are making today. We have to assume they will all climb in the next four years and possibly substantially. Contract 2010 looked ok on paper looking at dos + 4 but guess what? Pairity was never realized because everyone else got raises while we were only half way through our term. That's not pattern bargaining or even pairity. You have to get pairity at dos or be industry leading at dos for either definition to apply.

This chart gets uglier if you show legacy rates. The chart should also stop at year 12 because that's where everyone else's pay tops out. Compare year 12 to year 12 and it makes the top almost as disgusting as the bottom. So apples to apples we would still be the lowest paid at dos for years 1-12.

This offer was basically a continuation of contract 2010 while also dropping transition language and adding a couple percent retirement not realized until year 4. So all in it was pretty much a concessionary offer to our current contract. Is that a joke?
