I took Calculus at a community college so I am math challenged.
Keep in mind that table does not yet include the 1% snap up, according to the text below that table in the UA AIP. That's why it doesn't say 356.52.
As I stated above, DL's me too is tiggered off the
top paying captain rate, then takes that % and adds it to the rest of the tables. UA's AIP adds 2.01% to every single cell. UA then "snaps up" to match the new DL rate making UA&DL the same for the duration of the contract. The top NB rate at DL is for the 757 and 321 NEO, which will now become about 356.52. AA did not include a me-too in thier AIP, correct?.
In all the haste of math, need to make sure are comparing apples to apples here too. We may have crossed the streams, I can't keep up on the fly. So correct me if I'm wrong.
*Edit* I think we (I?) mixed two different airframes from 2 different tables. The top NB rate is 356.52, but the cell you are going off of isn't the top rate. So 338.48 becomes 345.24. I thought the rate you were quoting was the top rate for comparison. My apologies for the mix up.
