Well, I don't know what they said, but in June 2012, DALPA signed a contract with their top WB for 2012 at $235 per hour. Our rate in March of 2012 was $261 per hour. So, they took a rate that was about $26 per hour less than ours. In December of 2012, UAL did the same thing.

I don't know what their guide said, but 24.H.4 of their contract says they still have an offset.
