This isn't true. Our pay rates would be 2% lower because we wouldn't have done the conversion. We also may not have gotten the 3B4 raises because the raise is the lesser of the weighted average of United and American 757 rate or the company raise to the non-contracts. You have to answer what the weighted average of American and United is before you can make this statement.
If we were better paid, which I believe we were, you are totally wrong.
In other words, you missed the "lesser" in Section 3.B.4. Oops.
