I'm looking forward to reading section 1. The company wants it something fierce and that makes me....hesitant.

This deal is less total compensation than Delta TA1. There would be a riot if in 3 years a 15% raise was offered and "full" retro based on 3-4% raises per year.

From the amendable date this is effectively a UPS type 3/4/4/4/3/3/3 raise.

The addition of a B plan is a very nice gain for them.

Only if you include the PS trade for the 6% raise from TA1 is SWA more. Did SWAPA buy their pay raises?
You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Care to be more specific

If I had to guess I would say the B-Plan is their 401k and it is being increased from 9.3% up to 15% over 3 years to get where ours is...

8/0/3/3 is the same as 4/4/3/3.

Anyways that's all theoretical.

Bottom line, SWA and UPS type 3/3/3/3/3/3/3 deals will not help our case in the eyes of the NMB to get anywhere remotely close to 22/7/7. It'll be a win if we can get the rumored 18/4/4.

15% B-fund. Sweet. Now we're talking.

looks like you are back to your old ways...we all knew it wouldn't last long.

To clarify, SWA Uses a Trip for Pay (TFP) as the unit for pay. Current 12 year captain is $189.78 per TFP. The union uses a conversion factor of 1.149 to convert this to an hourly wage. Thus current hourly rate equivalent is $218.06 and the Agreement rate effective Oct 1 would be $250.76

Delta currently has a 15% B fund.


If you see how this deal helps us achieve our opener let me know. I'm all ears
