The pay banding at UAL skews the numbers by fleet and creates some weird comps such as how they pay the 757-300 more than the 757-200 and the A319 less than the A320, but if you break it down by DAL airplane and compare you get(1/1/2017):
777/747 = UAL+5.15%
A330/76-400 = UAL - 0.67%
76-300/757-300 = UAL + 5.27%
757-200 = UAL + 9.12%
A320 = UAL + 0.97%
A319 = UAL + 5.25%
737-800 = UAL + 4.64%
737-700 = UAL + 9.08%
MD88 = UAL + 3.37% (using UAL 73-700 rate...their lowest rate)
717 = UAL - 1.85% (using UAL 73-700 rate...their lowest rate)
UAL current rates get a 2% raise on 1/1/18 as we get a 3% increase so these comps diverge over time. Of course this does NOT factor in UAL's me-too clause but I don't know of a way to reasonably account for that, i.e., even if we got bigger increases in rates UAL would move up proportionally based on that.
As others have said here, UPS beats our TA rates on everything from 767 and below. Our TA rates exceed UPS on aircraft above 7ER.
