I’ll help: I said it would be a stretch to say that AA matched DAL and that we definitely did not match UAL.
That's what I read the first time. Are you trying to say that AA tried to match,
but fell short? Are we talking past one another? Genuine question.
Because when you look at the APA website at
https://negotiations.alliedpilots.org/Contract2023 > TA Summary. Here are just a few things that match DL, with help from UA (who matched DL and added 2%):
- Pay tables, to the penny
- 4/4/14 Retro
- 17% DC in 2024 and 18% in 2026,
- Profit Sharing formula
- Vacation paying 4:35
- Training pay of 3:05/day
- Training withdrawal option
- Reassignment pay at 150% day 1, 200% day 2
- 2:00 pay for release between 0000-0159
- sit pay exceeding 2:30 (DL actually 3 going to 2 on 1/1/24)
- LTD 50% of Final earnings (APA exceeded DL with "no offsets")
- MBCBP
- And more
