Maybe I have bad info so please correct. Alaska has a 5 hr average duty period? That’s not good. We had that (5:10). It sucked. AA went to 5:15 ACD. You guys get 150% for premium? Same at AA. Trip rigs and sit rigs I think are about the same. So does it boil down to profit sharing? Honestly curious. We are in negotiations after all and any little contractual jewel you can share could be helpful.

All AA pilots are commuters, all AS pilots live in base. WB FO’s averaged almost 4 more days off a month off.
Honestly, if I were at AMR I would focus on hourly rate. Your company is so upside down with debt, that even in the best years you will never see the same profit sharing even with DAL exact same profit sharing... your margins will always be significantly lower based on your company’s debt burden.
