For you contract interpreters out there.........If you have a certain HR executive vice president say (As part of a statement about union vs nonunion compensation): In addition, he says, Delta already plans to raise salaries, an expense accounted for in future estimates. "We've already built into our models that we will be at or above the industry standard for pay and benefits," XXXXXXXX says. "And we are bringing everyone up to that level by Oct. 1."

I'm assuming this will be for the non-union workforce which, in my estimation, could trigger a section in our contract that deals with 30% of the non-union workforce getting a raise. (Look at Section 3 after the Pay Tables.)

If this is the case and the review is triggered, which American and Continental pay rates would be used? American has seperate rates for the the 767 and 757. Continental has widebody vs long narrowbody rates. Our rates for the two are the same........

Granted, we probably would not see anything unless the "New United" JCBA has significant gains in pay, but it is an 18 month window so it could be possible.

Any thoughts?
