I saw their opener, which detailed their priorities, as established in communication with the membership. Is “demand” management speak for “priority”?

It was since mentioned multiple times on Deltanet or town hall videos. I suspect the pull back to 100 to 125 a month is part of the above decision however the company did not say that. A pool of 900 CJO’s is not healthy as once a pilot is hired and starts at another airline they are less likely to start over again and switch. Especially when you might have 600 to 800 pilots under you at UAL with their current hiring rate.

Also I did some quick math about a month ago and believe our 12 year 73 A rates were about 5% ahead of theirs. Didn’t their 12 year A’s get a 14% raise DOS (and some other years/ categories up to 22%)? We are going to need to get at least 19-20% minimum to stay 5% ahead. And me being a lowly FO I am going to need at least 25% to keep up with Alaska. It’s time, the bill is past due.

Contract effective mostly Dec 1, but payrates effective back to Sept 1. PBS implementation will take a while, those benefits won’t be seen til early 2024.
Signing bonus (not really retro) was decided to be Oct 1 2021. Apr 2020-Sept 2021 were written off as pandemic losses where the airline was losing billions and so the union and company agreed to starting look back at Oct 1, 2021. So Oct 2021 - Aug 2022 was 11 months. 3k for CAs and 2k for FOs. CAs get 33k, FOs 22k.
Plus the Sept and Oct retro for this year, old payrates to new payrates for these two months. For CAs that’s another 7-8k. About $40-41k net overall signing bonus (Covid modified retro).
Our 12th yr was 266.29
3 yr contract, DOS is 306, 318, 331.
Sept 2023 and 2024 a one time look at AA, DL, UA, SW. Add all 4 , divide by 4 for an average rate and get bumped up to that if that’s higher. JetBlue included in calculation only if they get a new contract before then.
401K is 16% but if 3 / 5 big pax carriers get 17%, AS gets bumped to 17%.

Enjoy your retirement.
