FWIW, the CPO‘s have talking points which claim the contract value was 4 billion per year, and ALPA‘s ask was an additional 4 billion per year. IAW, doubling the contract cost.
I would take that with a giant grain of salt, however, as they have clearly coordinated their messaging, as multiple CPO’s have given me that number lately.
