We became amendable in Jan 2019. The company can agree to a 15% percent (or so....no idea of the correct number) increase and the pilot cost will be flat in 2019 dollars given inflation.
Our contract value is eroding just sitting here. I'm hoping there is some mechanism for this going forward to prevent rewarding the company for slow rolling the process.
This is an important discussion point, but I believe the PWA was amendable Jan 1, 2020. ALPA and the Co. elected to start discussions early.
According to the .gov, inflation was:
7.7 % Jan 1, 2020 to Jan 1, 2022.
9.1% Jan 1, 2019 to Jan 1, 2022 (the date of our last raise).
