I’ve been saying all along, TA2 must exceed inflation on its own on DOS. 13% won’t cut it unless there are some major changes to trip credit calculations, etc. If you want to match Delta by giving your LOA raise back to the company, I think you’re in the minority; but maybe some other folks here can sound off on the question.
I'm glad other people see this. The 5% we 'got already' as some people keep saying was agreed upon completely outside of contract talks. Just like you said, bought and paid for.
