Although this 5% rate is lower than our peers, we plan to offer hourly pay rates higher than those same peers in the contracts we’re negotiating now and in those to be negotiated in the future. As we have demonstrated in all joint contracts already reached, our view continues to be that we should set industry-leading pay rates as we negotiate our contracts so that higher pay is reflected in each paycheck, every pay period, throughout the year, and that your paycheck recognizes the work you do every day.

Anyone know what DAL and UAL get?

I believe DAL is at 25%.

A lot more than we will. Not complaining, just fact as stated above.

I don't think we're even getting 5% of our pay rates, just a flat shared 5% with 90,000 other employees.

It's a step in the right direction, but a very, very small one. I'd rather have an increase in f time pay ratio or min calendar day.

Much higher, but those rates were negotiated by their respective unions during contract talks. This wasn't negotiated, management just decided to listen to their employees. Of course some guys over here are already *****ing about it.... amazing.

5% into the pool doesn't necessarily mean a 5% payout. The details of how they'll structure the plan will explain if they plan on paying based on per capita or based on income. Or hours worked?

They had to do something the unions were starting to make real noise and the street was starting to note the labor problems... I'm sure it'll be only the absolute minimum to get people to keep on with the dollar store airline that he's running. When the profit sharing payout is as good or better than UAL, I'll consider paying attention. Until then it's exactly as the Philly Reps have said for years. They only do the right thing when they are backed up against a wall and have no other choice. This simply was one of those times. Just wait for the excitement to die off and you'll quickly see we are still compensated less than Delta & United.

DAL got 1.5B profit sharing of 5.9B earnings for 2015. About 25%

AA had 7.6B Profit for 2015 and offering us 5% of future earnings. I'll take it (non negotiated) but it's seriously lagging DAL.

5% of 7.6 billion is 380 million. Divided by 90,000 employees is $4200 ish before taxes.
