I would prefer the UAL TA does not pass. The entire mediation process is geared to driving the solution to industry average. Overall if you applied the United TA rates to our fleet the rates are lower then our rejected TA. We can talk all day about the 330 rate but if you look at the other rates it's not good!
UAL 767-254
Delta TA1 260
UAL 757-245
Delta TA1 260
UAL 737-235
Delta TA1 250
UAL A320-245 A319-235
Delta TA1 241
These should be sobering numbers. Delta management would jump at these payrates. I would prefer UAL to go back to the table!
