Not to mention the staffing and thus seniority increases for better rigs, reserve rules, vacation allotment. Add the $1/hr VEBA allotment, increases in rates for premium flying, etc. I’d say 30% is not far off.
It’s actually more.
Our pre-CBA contribution was 3%. So it actually increased by 12%.
Edit: That is probably not fair. Since we no longer have to contribute to get the match, we are keeping 5%. Then add in the 2% (3% in 2021).
