Default 3.B.4

Has anyone done projections on 3B4 raises due to AA's contractual raises over their new deal?

I am not an expert, but I have read the entire TA. As I read 3.B.4, it appears that our profit sharing is included in the "me too" calculation. Since AA has zero PS, it appears that any me too bump is unlikely for us as long as our PS is a reasonably large number.

Am I reading too much into it? Or is it truly a clause that looks great at first blush, but is really toothless when you fully analyze the fine print?

If it's the second choice, then I am really getting very weary from all of the escape clause loopholes that the Company has built into the TA (and more importantly, escape clause loopholes that ALPA has permitted to be built in)

Profit sharing is not included in 3.B.4. in the current contract. They want it included in C2015, which basically neuters it.

The T/A 3.B.4 has profit sharing in the formula (another give or Concession)...our current contract does NOT consider Profit Sharing

This is HUGE. But you knew that because the DALPA clearly spelled it out in the sales brochure. Oh wait.........

Whether our TA passes or not, 1/1/16 the TA profit sharing reduction goes into effect for all non pilot employees.

The reduction on C2012 resutled in the same. The non pilot employees received 2 raises that year. Their normal raise and another for the reduced profit sharing. They were both either 3% or 4%.

2016 will see the same for them.

See Profit Sharing Contrails.

To be clear, TA15 uses profit sharing as part of your compensation when comparing to other airlines. So, if implemented 3.b.4 is not going to garner any raises during the comparison.

C12, if it remains in effect, could/should be good for about a 3% raise due to 3.B.4.

Iow, voting for TA15 is a vote to not receive the 3.B.4 raise.

So status quo could potentially be a 3/3/3/3 raise, instead of 8/0/3/3. And keep the current PS. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Correct. Plus an additional 1.5% see below.

Now toss in the JV out of compliance annual grievance and add an average 1.5% to that. Even using the pennies on the dollar back room grievance settlement agreed to by our MEC chairman.

The same MEC chairman that TA 15 gives sole authority to for using alter ego foreign airlines to fly international delta passengers in Delta paint.

4.5,4.5,4.5,4.5

Plus profit sharing.

Park me.
