In any case, apples and oranges. UPS does not fly narrow bodies.
I said the same thing when Spirit got their new contract and rates.... "Oh, we'll be negotiating by 2019/2020, so no way we fall behind them"......here we are in 2022, Spirt leaped us, we missed an entire contract cycle and now we're just trying to meet the bar set in 2019. If you think this 3 year deal doesn't end up being a 7-8 year deal, you're crazy. We may be negotiating again in 2025 but that doesn't mean sheet. We were negotiating in 2019 too. We need to have a contract that we'll all be comfortable with, 7-8-10 years from now. For me, this ain't it. Too much money left on the table and too many negative precedents set for future negotiations. Don't forget, this group hasn't voted on anything since 2013. We've been under the same contract with a minor adjustment in '17, for almost 10 yrs. Retro NOW or we're setting ourselves up for the same struggle and eventual disappointment later.
