We are getting a very good LTD and a DC plan that we didn't have before. We are getting rid of a 15 year pay scale and the worst slope I have ever seen with a 12 year scale and much improved slope. We are getting $14 in pay and benefits for every $1 we gave up. We are giving some things, but with these substantial gains I believe it would be foolish to turn this down.
An ALPA rep at the road show today said that he has been working with on contracts for various airlines for the past 40+ years and the 14 to 1 ratio is the highest he has ever seen by a large margin. After educating myself on the TA for several days and listening to factual information I feel that the NC did very well
