If, during the term of the Delta PWA, either UAL or AA reach a new collective bargaining agreement which establishes a higher hourly rate of pay than Delta, a snap-up will occur. The top Captain rate of the highest paying aircraft that the respective carrier operates at their date of signing, and the top Captain rate then currently in effect for the Delta PWA will be compared. The hourly pay rates are not modified or adjusted in any way (such as by considering profit sharing earnings).
If triggered, on a one-time basis for each of UAL and AA, the percentage difference between the top Delta rate and the higher rate identified above will be determined. All Section 3 B. 2. pay tables will increase by the determined percentage, and will further be increased by an additional 1%.
Example: United signs a new agreement on July 15, 2023. The highest Captain pay rate in their agreement at date of signing is $430.07/hour. This rate will be compared to the highest Captain rate in effect for the Delta PWA at that time, which would be $417.54. The Delta rate would beincreased to match the United rate, and then an additional 1 percent added. This results in a new rate of $434.73, which is an increase of 4.12%. A 4.12% increase will then be applied to all aircraft and all steps of the pay tables.
If American were to sign a new agreement later in the year, this process would be repeated.
The “Me Too” clause will sunset on 12/31/2026
not saying we shouldn’t reach for the stars.. 5%, 6%?!
but I’ll say it again, like a broken record.
Pay Rate is just
ONE part of the formula.
Trip & Duty rigs, min pay per day, international override, night override, vacation credit, sick leave accrual, higher Bfund contributions, PS Bfund contributions, better LTD, reserve rule fixes..
All things just as important!
keep in mind, a 1% raise means $417.54 + 4.18 = $421.72.
However, they would then go to $425.93
And then the ball is in American court. Which means we need to push for some snap up clause too.
without doing anything (after what they have already done- taken charge of the industry & profession), they get over an 8k raise.
The latest Union Blastmail gives me faith that we now have strong leadership at the helm of the union.. change is happening. Ball is fully in managements court, let’s see what they do next Thursday ~
