As many have said before, pay rates are only a SMALL part of the equation. The sum of all the parts in the failed TA did not hold the value that DALPA and the company kept claiming with their deception.
Bingo
A TA in these times should sell itself....concessions and other give aways are unnecessary. I still can't fathom why DALPA, Donatelli and company tried to sell us on that failed TA. Pay is VERY important, but items like work rules and scope are hard to change/get back once you give them away. That Failed TA would have decimated a lot of bargaining leverage in future contract negotiations.
