But, if first year is 9-11%, I don't need to read any further--NO!
I don't want a 6 year "interim" contract rate. We're already at our third year so "missing" two 3% raises and then getting another 3-4% essentially on signing is not remotely close to acceptable. Delta's TA that was voted down was better than these numbers. We deserve industry leading, and not just for 6 months until we are leapfrogged.
If these low ball rumors are true, I hope the MEC does their job and sends it back to the negotiators. I'm not afraid of the what-if when that happens. Leverage is great right now, and peak would be beyond ugly for the company.
I agree ... The first 9-10% is COLA ... After that we actually get a raise.Originally Posted by Raptor

The 15 year Captain rate needs to be $3xx per hour
