Home basing as other have suggested has rest, scheduling, and bidding implications that carry far higher cost, much of which is the uncertainty of drastic change.
The company already provides PS commutes when it's tight aka expensive. Our reserve rules are almost there, just need a few more hours and some help in the short call and field standby areas. You're right about double pay though. That's too much. I'd take 15% annual cost of living increases for the next five years, an accumulated downgrade that meets you more than half way. DONT NEGOTIATE IN PUBLIC. I'm not. Please don't. Save it for the union's survey.

Given the inflation the current administration has brought upon us, we better get full retro and 25% on day one…. And that’s just to break even. Anything less is a pay cut and better be DOA.

I love that you close your negotiating in public statement with a “don’t do this.” Next MEC chair right there fellas!

Our customers have less money available to purchase tickets, the company has more difficulty increasing fares, and our business expenses rise as well. All of this means a smaller pie, both for our customers who provide our revenue, and at the company level when trying to remain profitable. I’m not saying that we should tuck our tails and hide under the bed, but not only are we up against inflation, but we also have to pay back a huge amount of covid debt with interest. The narrative from the company should be entertaining.

Just tell the negotiating committee. They will pass it on to DL and they will say no problem, you got it. Will there be anything else we can do for you?

I heard that inflation would actually be bad for the type of debt that airlines hold, since they are not a consistent long term payment like your mortgage. I don’t know anything, but I heard it’s much different than a mortgage, which is how everyone seems to think of it. Does anyone know more about that?

All I can say is, this has potential for leverage in the contract. If UAL wants to fill narrow body Capt bids, they have to make it more attractive to bid. NO MORE LOA's. I want a contract.
Please, all of you call and speak to your reps and tell them, pass resolutions, exactly what you want/don't want. I have and they know my feelings exactly on the subject.
This has LOA just waiting to happen.
