Of course, the CURRENT (2025) 12 yr CA at AA/UA/DL for A321N is 389.34. ALPA/MEC did a decent job on the latest Contract Comparison (on the MEC page). Yr 2 CA pay at UA (which is doable in some cities) for 2026 is $360.

Our ask was lower when we asked. The only reason mgt hasn't jumped on it (and locked us in at bargain rates) is because they don't think we pilots will turn it down (and quite possibly accept even lower).

Not getting the same rate to me is like saying i'm worth less or that i'm not as good of a pilot as others. I honestly felt like I should've walked last contract cycle but justified staying by telling myself that we were too far behind to make it up all at once. Well, seems like we're in that boat again. I'm too proud to stay behind forever.

I get legacy or I walk. Only way I lose is if we merge w/ a legacy after I do (and my seniority gets even lower). But I don't think that will happen.
