I continue to respectfully disagree with your assessment that the bar should be set low from the beginning.
The company has to compete for newhires based on career earnings. That is the reality of today’s hiring environment.
I’m not saying the bar should be set low. You can go in like DL ALPA and say you want 25% B fund and 30% raises and get laughed at by mgt who then requests mediation. Or you can go in with a realistic proposal which benefits both parties and still leaves wiggle room for negotiation.
And UPS just agreed to pay raises for a 2 yr extension so my numbers are already out of date. Lol
