Trip7. Do better. You can’t say “a contract will pass” based off pay rates and a couple improvements. It’s a comprehensive rewrite. The whole thing needs to be evaluated and assessed. Quit posting dumb sh**.

Here's a fun math exercise for everyone.
Current 73N A is ~ $285
Assume a 39 year old Pilot with 26 years to go.
5% compounded year over year will have you retire at $1,013 / hr
4% compounded year over year will have you retire at $790 / hr
3% compounded year over year will have you retire at $614 / hr
Every percentage gain we can get now will pay enormously in your future years.
Do Not Settle

The specific numbers themselves aren't important and don't tell of the bigger picture of the economic landscape during that 26 years.
The point is just to show how much a simple percentage point can factor over the course of a contract and more importantly, the course of one's career.
