Are you advocating that we do away with a single wide body pay rate so that we can go to a DAL style pay scale?

And who would give up a lifetime annuity that pays $230K per year, if the DB plan gets increased? With 9% B plan contributions, I'll have at least 4-5 mill in my 401k, thats 28yrs of contributions. Having a known DB plan lets me invest in more aggressive funds. But the Union wants to put our DB at the whim of the market?
Let's meet back here when this industry leading document is presented in all its glory.

Lets say the rumors of 14% increases are used. We would have a $382 rate on those two aircraft. 8% higher than AA/DAL on equivalent aircraft if my math is correct. That would be by FAR industry leading on those aircraft correct?

If all we are worried about is a B plan increase then why have a 15 year fight about a big pension increase.
