In a full section 6 they just don't negotiate pay rates. Everything has a value and pattern bargaining is essentially on the value of the total contract.
Let's say their pay rates/profit sharing calculation is -$1 to ours but they made measurable gains in in other areas of their contract. We get nothing nada from DAL's me too clause except watch the value of their total contract skyrocket over ours.
