ok so they would get gains, but “MASSIVE” gains? Seems like they probably get % gains similar to ours. But things like our health insurance, RED/Green, Drop to zero have a cost associated with them. If they got Delta rates, better insurance, and ability to Drop to Zero, I agree that would be massive. (And I hope they do).

Those APC rates aren’t accurate. Their rates are higher.

Facts:
Compare the whole scale and our TA rates are anywhere from $0-17/hr more than B6. The top end Capt rate that you published has biggest divergence at $17/hr. Most longevity years are in the range of $5-10/hr. Not a huge difference. When you factor in 16% DC currently at B6, and $13/hr night overide currently at B6, and a clause for profit sharing we are pretty much even.

Otherwise, we're in a contract dispute. 50-50 whether we see anything in PS but that bar was set by the NC so if they don't bring something back that includes a solid PS plan, it will be looked at as a failure. I'll be a no voter if there's no PS formula restructure.

You're right. It's not $283, it's $283.11.

The A220 rates only reflect the -100, which JetBlue doesn’t operate. Everything else is correct.

^^^^THIS^^^^

B6 rate at $283/hr for 12yr CA was in-line or in some cases higher than legacy A320/A321 rates. Therefore on par or better than Delta AIP w/snap up could be assumed. If you average Delta current A319/A320 rate $274 and Delta A321 rate $286 = $280 - B6 rate for A320/321 is actually currently higher at $283 for common fleet rate.

The regionals found the money somewhere and so can we. Even if not they didn’t even include a different scale triggered by a return to profitability. That’s the only way at a minimum that you accept a below market deal when the company cry’s poor.
