I have posted the rates from the legacies contracts and from ours. You said....

And in 2012, part of the 2011 contract and after DAL signed a new contract, I posted "DALPA signed a contract with their top WB for 2012 at $235 per hour. Our rate in March of 2012 was $261 per hour."

So, are you saying that rates that were between $26 to $39 per hour lower are comparable?

Well, first you said...

I have shown that both of those statements are not correct. So yes, it does hurt your argument. Do you even know what the offsets are for DAL, UAL, and us? You got the UAL one wrong in this post. What is the offset and LTD at Fedex?

This is not a disengenous argument unless you think you can make the arugment that since the 757 paid $120/hour (or whatever it was) 17 years ago that we cannot say it needs to be hiegh now along with other's contractual gains on the 757.

Peronally, I'd like to see a single blended rate with credit for training savings.
Not really sure what you are trying to get at here. The 757 being banded with the 767-300 has been industry standard for a long time, so I don't know what the UAL TA has to do with anything. That wasn't something that just happened in 2023.

So you’re saying we were paid more than Delta in the past, but do not deserve to now ?

Our contract is worth more per pilot than Deltas, We just put too much of the value in the retirement a plan.

I find that exceptionally hard to believe.

Alpa national does a cost analysis on all alpa contracts. Belta's contract will cost them 23 Billion over the next 4 years. Our contract will cost 12.5 Billion. Delta has 3 times as many pilots. The TA that we turned down was worth Delta + 25%

Go take a look at the W2 thread... while I acknolwlege there may be some outliers there.

I do know this all my best friends are at the big 3, at the same longevity (6-7 years), and they're all out earning me. Unscientific, but we compare notes and I know I'm far behind.

Well yeah, they all got new contracts this year with big retro checks and higher pay rates. Sounds pretty logical. No surprise here.

And the cost to increase the pension was huge. That doesn't show up in your W2.

What about the savings to the company from sunsetting the A plan?

No one seems to want to talk about that.

Or all the other associated concessions. Somehow those never make it into these "calculations".
