Keep in mind that UAL has fewer pilots so some of that difference would be mitigated in the final payout calculation.
Now the other misconception is that Delta then adds 16% more. That 16% of $750 million would be another $120 mil. That's not how the 401k 16% gets calculated. It's backed out of the total $750 million pool.
Bottom line: We could improve our PS clause for sure, but the difference is not quite as egregious as some think.
Honestly I do not know the answer to that question. Time to do more homework.
Time to stop posting blatant misinformation.
The difference between the two PS formulas is substantial and will get worse as inflation and growth lead to higher revenues. The crossover between 10% and 20% is key.
United likely has more pilots than Delta now.
Delta's PS is simply part of the compensation on which their BC contributions are based.
