Not yet mentioned above: the gutting of 3.B.4.
The change to the language of 3.B.4 (our "me too" clause) will effectively remove it from ever applying. That is a significant piece of leverage we have against protracted negotiations; the current language is one reason the company needs to get this contract done sooner rather than later, before the other employee groups start wondering where their annual pay raise is. It is a slow-burn, no doubt, but absolutely important to have. We should have been expanding it like the UAL bubbas did, not neutering it.
