Ok fine, use rates before 5% LOA 12th year 737-800 CA, who cares what the % increase is if we ultimately arrive at Delta AIP + a couple %
We feel better with 19% DOS pre LOA 5% rate vs 14% DOS after LOA 5%? The end state rate is the important number.
I am right there with you. I have no idea what these people are arguing semantics about. Get angry that we don't have an agreement worthy of arguing about.
The other incredibly short sighted argument is pay rate vs all the other sections of the contract. There are 600+ other pages of the contract that impact yOUR bottom line. Time at home, total compensation, R/I... inflation arguments against a pay rate on 1 out of 600 pages of a contract mean nothing.
