I would absolutely love to do better.
But when a pilot group that’s supposed to be the industry leader gives away a huge chunk of what they’re owed in retro, and accepts rates that fail to capitalize on the current pilot market, you kinda showed your lack of self worth and in the process hamstrung everyone else.
Just for laughs, take the retro you gave away and multiply it across the pilot group. That number alone makes a fantastic pay day for the executives and FordHarrison.
But really, bless your heart and congratulations.

You’re probably right. About every ten years, this industry sees a major Black Swan event and the company will furlough and come for concessions. Based on the mettle this MEC has shown, they would sign right up for pay cuts. I’m not sure what the Black Swan will look like, rest assured there’s one out there in the future. Good Luck.

With what leverage? DALPA just flushed it all down the toilet. Never since CY2000 did DALPA have so much leverage in a negotiation, and they flushed it, ALL of it. The company has zero incentives to agree to any incremental gains and DALPA has clearly demonstrated they don’t have “the stones” to fight.

I'd love for you to do better as well. There are many moving parts in these negotiations. Pattern bargaining being a reality of recent history I'm quite glad that APA BOD and the UA pilot group turned down their deals (which were far below this ratified PWA) and that we produced this before they had their second round of proposals (which were also shown to be far below this contract). Where you view the bar really depends on which point in history you choose it to have been set, and fair enough if you think this deal fell short of your bar. All of that being said, it's in poor taste to come wagging your finger at another pilot group for setting a new industry standard below your liking when yours has failed time and time again to raise it at all. I'm rooting for SWAPA to come out with a deal so great that everyone at DALPA regrets not including you in our "me too" clause.
