Which if inflation keeps up at 8% will likely just raise your effective tax rate enough for you to break even…

It really puts the 9% in United’s TA into perspective.

And its still under our top rate of $355 for CA and $240 for FO.
No profit sharing.
Minor scope changes

My guess is they will accept it, and still end up not in the top 4 for payrates in a year once everyone else gets raises.

Huge Scope change. It never existed before.

There is a Snap Up Clause on pay rates.

It’s a big raise but they were playing catch up. Glad they got snap up

I would think most who read this realize how misleading this statement is, but for those who don’t: $355 is not a correct comparison to Alaska’s $331 top CA rate. $355 is United’s top rate for widebody, and Alaska doesn’t fly widebodies.

United’s top 737 rate is $294, and Alaska’s is now $331 (2024). This is the apples to apples comparison.

I think folks are missing this point quite a bit. The $400K household income cap is going to be a factor for many top earners and many gains seen will be wiped out via "paying your fair share". Make more money - no change to your standard of living.
