How would the 190 guys be screwed over exactly? The CURRENT 190 rate would be almost exactly the same as the DL TA for the 195, greater than DL TA 190 rates, and the UA 190/195. Which would be the highest in the industry for that airframe. The only thing higher is the DL 717 TA rate. Right now, the 320 is about $40-60 below the rates for equivalent aircraft with our peers. This is all off the Comparison Guide (perhaps you've heard me reference this before).
Once again, I'm not campaigning to keep the 190 rates.....I'm just reading between the line based on the info our own union guys are sending out to us. I'm sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative. I hope like hell the 190 rates end up equal to or exceeding the DL 717 rates and our 320/321 rates equal or exceed DL's 320/321/737-900 rates.
Our own guys are managing expectations with these guides along with educating us. Getting defensive over someone interpreting data isn't going to change a damn thing.
