There are many on here who are demanding industry standard. Please tell us who negotiated improvements for pilots who were already retired during this latest round of contract negotiations.
ALPA has already valued our contract as a $3.8 billion increase over the 2015 contract and valued it as the highest dollar value per pilot of any ALPA contract. So how do you convince the NMB that we are being reasonable in our asks? Everything we are trying to achieve has a dollar value increase, and there is a limit to what is reasonable.
Definition for…
Reasonable: first increase to the pension since 1999, then all pilots retired since amenable date are included. This increase will be the only increase this plan will have.
I will make it simpler if this is not reasonable enough for you then count it as we hold very different definitions of reasonableness. Email your reps and let them know where you stand.
