1.) Not dollar amount. Percentages. As in, if the company raises other employer groups pay a certain percent, our pay would go up as well. Doesn’t have to be 1:1. 30% could get us 3%. 20% could get us 2%. 10% could get is 1%. .

2.)I’m guessing neither UAL or AA will surpass our wide body rates. I bet the company is pretty sure of that too. Most of my buds at UAL would take our new pay rates and gains in other areas of their contract.

All I’m saying is it’s likely that it would have been more advantageous for us to tie an increase in our pay rates to our company’s strong desire to keep the FA’s non unionized over another company and its pilots commitment to paying its wide body pilots more than us.
