In a nutshell, here is the comparison of the failed TA to the current AIP:
PAY: TA1=17.6% AIP=29.43% over the life of the contract
RETIREMENT: TA1: 10% 401K AIP: 15% B-Fund by 2018, 14% in 2017
RETRO: TA1: approx 40% of actual retro pay. AIP: 100% retro on pay, 401K and PS
Those are the big pieces regarding pay. We avoided PBS, still have our awesome line-bidding system with the ability to turn every week of vacation into 18+ days off minimum. No paid parking -- BS, but oh well. Devil is in the details --- waiting to see the Section 1 language.
Cautiously optimistic.....
