Work rules are the key, pay protections, aggressive open time / VDA, premium time. That is why I have less seniority and beat every AA pilot I know when it comes to the end of the year take home. While we don't have the movement that they do, we have better work rules for earnings/pay protections. Pencil out all the hourly rates you want, work rules matter most and aren't represented in any of the APC profiles.
AA's next contract can equal all those work rules. Can you equal their movement and wide-bodies? And you hustle and work the system, a lot. Many/most fly their line and go home and enjoy their weekends off.

AA’s next contract won’t matter until our next contract. You can’t compare a 2022 contract to a 2018 contract.

Remember, our current NC thought LOA 13 was good for us and were favor of it. That should scare the heck out of everyone here. These guys don’t know a bad deal when it slaps them straight in the face. Unfortunately I have no confidence in getting what we deserve in CBA 2.

I hope that AA gets their work rules improved and you are correct about movement they have it far better then we currently do. However until that new contract happens we have better work rules for earnings maybe not for QOL issues. Hopefully pattern bargaining will help us out as we strive for this new contract..

But that can change in one contract cycle, and likely will.
