From what I heard, and of course it's not in print, is that we would all get a 9% raise across the board. The thing to remember is what we proposed in OCT05 as our last table offer. By now, had that been agreed upon, we would be in DOS+1 and that would put an 11YR W/B Capt at $222.83. I would hope that we would not settle for less than that....

If it's true about our "9%" raise, then the new payrate for an 11YR W/B Capt would be $215.82 ($198 x 1.09).

So, even though the company dragged this out an extra year, we basically are agreeing to LESS $$ than our OCT05 proposal.

Couple that with a purported FIXED $98million for back/retro pay (not a penny more), we could have the ingredients for serious consternation amongst the ranks.
