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!
Big difference is they didn't swap any profit sharing to get those pay rates are the other concessionary things in the TA1 nobody wanted to give. If you subtract out the 6% percent profit sharing conversion UAL comes out ahead on most fleets. Plus we didn't give up the precedent of giving up profit sharing to get pay raises.
