I try to avoid posting here but this is important.
Let’s fact check BL ourselves. He says F9 ALPA proposed pay rates higher than legacy 320 rates.
Well, I just so happen to have United’s 2024 pay table right here:

UA 2024 Airbus rates for 12 year captain are as follows:
A319,A319neo,A320,A320neo all pay $358.97
A321: $360.85
A321neo,A321xlr: $374.36
F9 ALPA did not propose separate pay rates for each variant of the A320 family but rather proposed one blended rate for all A320 types.
the 2024 F9 12 year captain proposed rate is $364.90.
so yes, on the surface ALPA proposed a higher rate than “legacy A320” pay rates (notice BL didn’t mention 321s? Convenient.)
BUT!! What if you average out the three different United rates into one blended rate? It comes to $364.73. So F9 ALPA asked for a whopping 17 CENTS more per hour.
BL is a lying union buster. He is intentionally twisting and misrepresenting facts to undermine our union’s efforts.
Everytime you read or watch something from BL or any other management stooge, do so with this at the forefront of your mind: these management stooges are actively trying to suppress and destroy your pay and quality of life in order to line their own pockets off your hard work. They are not working with you but actively working directly against you.
