How about both! The bird in hand , (hourly rates), and the compounding that starts 1/1/16 is substantial. The DAL "me too" clause will be in our back pockets.
The full Section 6 is an unknown of both $$$ and duration.
In the mean time , congrats to all LUAL furloughees on possibly being made whole.
It is possible that reserve improvements will be included in the next contract, but who's to know the amount of negotiating capital they require? I will also venture to say that a large percentage of reserve pilots,( new hires excluded) are voluntary not line holders.
I hope the TA passes.
