The industry mark is a 255# with about 3% a year in cola.
Middle of seniority of AS will be fine, our CEO and COO have both stated publicly that the equipment will be separate at AS and VX for at least the next 5 years. AS pilots will get all of their upgrades on the 737 and VX will keep all of their near term growth on the bus.
Scheduling changes will be made but not enough. PBS?? I would think has less then a 30% chance of being in the next contract.
I won't laugh. Yes, in this environment your #'s could be paid. I think the 22% profit margins would be pulled to almost 10% and seeing every other workgroup would seek similar increases the margins could fall bellow 3%. We all want big raises but I think you have to be realistic.
Retirement I don't think will be touched because it is a lot more complex then most other sections.
Scope? Well I honestly don't know anymore about this one. This is the big hold up in the TPA right now. This one may surprise me and we might finally end up with real scope... the union is holding its ground right now
