Percentages are a shorthand. I think most people understand that it’s possible to increase compensation in other ways than just hourly wage increases; it just gets more complex to have those conversations when at the end of the day, what we’re all saying is that we’re not willing to lose money to inflation. I could vote for a package that had lower percentages if the work rule improvements outpaced that shortcoming. At the same time, Delta is beating inflation and getting work rule gains, so why are we still talking like it’s one or the other? Feels like many of us are still trapped in the TUMI mindset.
