As we work through the remaining – and in some cases most complex and costly – sections of the contract, we believe both parties should remain focused on making progress and finding areas of compromise. The facts matter, and pilots deserve accurate information from their elected representatives. We will continue to set the record straight.
The company must think we are stupid. This is a snapshot from the last contract comparison (August 2018). Not sure if anyone has improved from these numbers but probably those who have newer contracts did.
Total vacation value (Days X hours per day)
FDX- 216
UPS- 175
Southwest- 160.6
Alaska- 143.5
Jet Blue- 140
UAL- 136.5
Delta- 126 (current)
Hawaiian- 114
American -113.7
So yeah we are pretty much lagging the industry. UAL by the way gets 6 weeks.
