I'm with A320ULCC, I won't post what I'm expecting or what I'll settle for. What our union has made public is we're asking for 'industry standard compensation '. Our last complete proposal submitted to the company made public by the union prior to us entering mediation, was current book on work rules, United +1% on pay (pre Delta TA passage), 16% DC retirement, and 'industry standard' profit sharing.....
As to how long the process will take, at our current pace I'd say a minimum of 1 year. The union has stated they anticipate to start negotiating the work rules & compensation portions in February, how long it will take with those meat an potatoes sections, no clue.....
