What pay chart would you compare them to? We do have a different banding system but the bands only seem to favor UAL on the 767-400. They only have 16 of them. The 757 is probably the largest common fleet between the airlines. Would you not compare their 757 rate to ours?
I am fairly certain that if you compared total pilot payroll under the failed TA verses the UAL TA the failed TA would have a higher value. My point is that I keep hearing pilots discuss how good the UAL TA is for us. I don't see it helping at all with the NMB. It does increase UAL's overall costs so it might make management more willing to cough up some money. Still I think a stronger message to Delta and UAL management would be a rejection. It might also send a message to the NMB.
