Before one totally vilifies APA maybe we should wait for the language? Supposedly they got 1.1B more than the Delta contract. UAL would have to far exceed that just to get anywhere close to the Delta contract because their QOL is so bad. They don't even get DC on their woeful profit sharing and have field standby and their PBS system sucks(not part of the PWA) but needs to be fixed nonetheless. For PBS I think they can only put in 20 bid lines.....and there is no "Else Start Next".
IOW....if another major has a contract woefully inferior to Delta, it might be a bridge too far to expect them to significantly raise the bar in pattern bargaining.
