If United passes the TA and Delta counters with something lower, there will be 12,000 backpacks hitting the floor in one loud THUD.

A movie is never as funny when I have to explain to my wife. That said, I guess I need to be the clueless one. Can you please explain how a passed UAL TA helps our cause? Is it just because our proposed TA2 would be just slightly higher than the UAL TA and therefore easier to argue at arbitration?

They don't give up any profit sharing...and only grant minor relief on a couple of issues

Exaxtly. Our profit sharing is now off the table as well as all concessions from the failed TA.

We need a minimum of 19% 1/1/16 just to match UAL A 330 and 767-400.

And matching is not good enough to pass MEMRAT.

Sounds like a pretty huge point

. I know the difference between the two but didn't know that we'd only mediate. I assume the reason behind this would be overly company-friendly arbitrators would not give us a fair shake?

UAL 767-254
Delta TA1 260

UAL 757-245
Delta TA1 260

UAL 737-235
Delta TA1 250

UAL A320-245 A319-235
Delta TA1 241

These should be sobering numbers. Delta management would jump at these payrates. I would prefer UAL to go back to the table!

767-400 - 305.49

757-300. - 254.70

737-800/900 - 245.80 (about 85% of our Guppies are 800/900)

Just keeping it apples to apples.

If you subtract out the 6% percent profit sharing conversion UAL comes out ahead on most fleets. Plus we didn't give up the precedent of giving up profit sharing to get pay raises.
