1) my memory is fuzzy but the run rate on ta1 was about $1 billion and ta2 run rate should come out to $2.8ish billion or so. Big hang ups were a ratification "bonus" that was worth about 1.2%/2.5% vs ta2 3/4/4. Pay is obviously higher and the big win is 15% B fund vs 10% retirement match. Section 1 language was weak as well in ta1.

2) I think they met us at around 92-95% of our platform asks. It looks like they added about $800 million in value from last month.

3) I believe it was a game changer. It created national news, along with several other stories relating to labor discord, the IT meltdown etc. They were on their heels and having multiple work groups on board was key along with the biggest picket ever shortly after. They were getting clobbered in the media.

4) the company actually gets most of the credit here. SWAPA has been shining a light on the company's poor negotiating tactics of delay, low balling, and misleading us. It ****ed the pilot group off greatly and there was real leadership and unity at swapa this year to harness all the angst.
