Fresh off the press:This afternoon, in response to our demands, management responded with a comprehensive proposal designed to bring closure to negotiations and maintain the membership voting schedule to the extent possible.
Management made proposals in many areas to include the following:
- Snap-up to match Delta/United pay rates after the Delta snap-up triggers
- Future wage increases accelerated to take effect every January 1
- Ratification bonus of 21% to fill the retro hole January-April 2023 based on longevity and seat on May 2, 2023
- 401(k) acceleration of increase to January 2024
- Increase in international override to $7/$5
- Increase in per diem to domestic $2.85/international $3.40
- Extended sick leave bank pre-loaded to 120 hours and accruing 4 hours per month in addition to previous accrual
- Medical freedom protections
- Max un-augmented duty day lesser of 13 hours or FAR 117 table B minus 30’
- Reserve “show, no go” pay increase to 5 hours
- 2-hour OG incentive for reserves volunteering to show and subsequently assigned prior to 1000 on day 1
- Hotel guarantees for reassignments outside original sequence footprint with no opportunity to commute to home of record that calendar day
- Maximum duty periods in sequence not to exceed number of calendar days
- Increase in life insurance coverage to $750,000 regardless of age
I think everyone owes our brothers and sisters over at United/ALPA a head nod in the terminals and maybe even a beer at the hotel bar.
