"Pay Rate Comparison" presentations are only a small portion of an entire contract. Compare the ENTIRE new and improved Delta TA to the new UPS contract in relation to the Defined Benefit Plan (A Fund) paying $126K per year in retirement, 12% B Fund, no PBS scheduling BS, the new OCV vacation rules where a 2 week vacation now results in a guaranteed month off, optional annual 72 hour sick bank cash out, etc etc.
I'd like to see the profitable people movers make a strong push for reinstatement of a well-deserved A Plan vs. eyeing a profit sharing check. Spoke with a Schwab rep the other day to get the facts.... to guarantee our A Plan number of $126K per year for life after retiring at age 65 I'd have to write them a $2.53M check on the day I retired. That's a lot of profit sharing checks. Food for thought.
