Pay rates are equities brought in and referenced in the major ALPA mergers

Delta/Nw this was addressed as NW pilots would see higher pay from the merger because of the equities brought in by the DAL contract, "including the contract improvements that one pilot group will gain due to the merger.


Airways/American West-"taking into account in
balancing the equities the gains to US Airways pilots from America West’s higher pay
rates and better work rules"

Heck, even Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan addressed the fact that Pinnacle and Colgan pilots would benefit from the higher CRJ900 rates in their contract

The merger policy requires all equities to be weighed unique to the groups. One group making what, 20% more top end, will surely be raised by the NK merger committee and laywers.

F9 wll be able to use the equities of "we are the acquiring company," which they will. Both sides will use what they have. But this is why JBLU did not want NK pilots snapped up and why NK pilots wont advocate for F9 pilots to be snapped up

The weighting for pay disparity will be negligible. If you're NK don't expect a 15% boost in seniority.

After being offset by BK, it could be a wash.

Ah, but that isn’t wasn’t you said. You said it won’t factor, and now you’re backtracking against what you said. And nobody claimed a 15% boost, don’t try to straw man your way out of this .

And the amount it will factor is unknown by you or me, and will be decided by an arbitrator(s)
You have no idea how much it will be weighed but it will be weighed.

Not trying to bust chops but you’re always way too eager to hop on any topic and lay down “facts” that are not facts at all

I know that the original announcement was for 330 furloughs on last Friday. Did that get reduced at all either by voluntary furloughs or attrition by folks leaving for other carriers?
