If the work rules and soft money are in, I'll happily consider A321neo and 757/767 rates. Soft money is where it's at. Screw up the work rules and soft money, and getting Delta A-350 pay rate could in effect become a paycut. The devil is always in the details.

There's A LOT of stuff that needs fixing and incentivizing/disincentivizing. Additionally, messing with the sick leave bank is a nonstarter for me. Our collective sick leave is easily worth 10 figures in liability. In fact, giving them an inch off our sick leave balance could essentially be paying for the whole contract..... So if they want to wipe that liability off the books, then the question to ask the company would be the same one they ask love to ask us - what are you willing to give up for it?
