You're trying to tell me that if DL gets a big rate increase within 11 mos. we get a rate increase, even if the other 4 are still negotiating? Nope. It'll be an average of 4 airlines (JB excluded) in which case we get our sub inflationary 4%. If I'm wrong in understanding this, please show me.
Ok, using your example. If Delta gets the $350 and none of the other airlines get a TA well then you’re #2 behind DL and ahead of AA, UA, SW, and B6 who are still in the 285 range until their new contacts.
Case 1 - No legacy gets a contract. Alaska #1
Caae 2 - Only 1 legacy gets a contract. You’re #2 behind them.
Case 3 - 2 airlines get a contract. Depending on their payrate, yours may go up after averaging all 5. Regardless, you’re no worse than #3.
Case 4 - Big 3 get a contract, not SW or B6. You get averaged of the 5, your payrate goes higher than current AS TA book.
Case 5 - All 5 get a TA by then. You get the avg of all 5. Our pay goes up big time.
What scenario do you not like?
