In 2022, Delta's rate adjusted for inflation would have been $415 when your TA/extension came out. Yet, it was overwhelmingly approved even though your top rate in 2025 was below the inflation adjusted Delta rate for 2022. My opinion is that wasn't industry leading.

It is funny to see some on here who stated in 2022 that the 2020 extension was a mistake and now defend it (not you Boiler). I hope you are able to negotiate a 2025 rate that exceeds the current rates at the legacies. If not, I hope your 2026 rate exceeds their $474 rate and you get retro or a signing bonus that makes up for the difference since 2023. You will have known those rates for 18 months+, so there shouldn't be an issue with exceeding them.
