I thought we asked for 15/7/7 or thereabouts without concessions. Is Uncle Richie factoring in our higher profit sharing to help make the company's case for them? Where is he getting the 45% above currently highest hourly rates?
I don't like feeling so stoopid, but I have no idea why he is saying we are asking for a 45% premium. Please help me feel more smarter. (Caution: Grammatic/al errors added for effect)
We asked for 22/ 7/7 here is my math using the rates from this site which appear to be accurate.
Aircraft DAL current proposed first year bump United current rate
757 226 275 255
777 270 329 305
737 218 265 246
I just picked 3 aircraft and did the math and it looks like if we actually got the 22% first year bump then we would only be 7% above United....not 45%. So Rich needs to show me his math.
