Guys, lets face it, we're handcuffed by the NMB and (mostly) pattern bargaining. UAL rates plus a few percent and comparable work rules and benefits improvements. If we give on the AIP's, then I would expect higher pay to offset. Bet we end up somewhere in this ballpark.
22 puts us about 4 ahead. I read here, they will get a bump to match us. I haven't read their contract. But we can party like it's 2004! Cause we caught up to our old pay rates. Less inflation, I'll be drinking PBR. BTW, my kids have better medical insurance as relatively new members of the workforce than we have here.
