In other words, we could either get:
A. 7% of annual earnings as cash OR
B. 6% of annual earnings as cash and 1% in 401k
(since 16% DC on 6% earnings = ~1% of earnings)

I would rather have the the first option.

Understood.

But, as has been pointed out, changing the PS formula for all employees might be tough to do. Getting a DC on top of the PS (Delta match at 18% DC) is comparably much easier. Ensure you get the pattern bargaining Delta match as a minimum. You guys have a lot of nuggets to get a Delta match on.
Somebody alluded to this before, but here is a link to an article by a Delta pilot/author. If anyone wants to take their negotiations seriously, it's worth a six minute read....just in case you get a phone poll....

My regional and LCC used navblue too. I wish we had it here, badly.

As an NK employee who deals with interfaces unlike anything that exists elsewhere, I would like to point out, they didn’t say it would be better.

The thing I hate most with our pbs system is that you can only Award Pairings with a single layover per line. So if you see an awesome 3 day trip with layovers in A and B that you really want, you have to either preference laying over in A over B or B over A. The system will then award you a trip with Layover A and then EWR, instead of layover B that you wanted. My only recourse is going through the bid packets, finding the individual trip numbers, and then awarding that specific pairing before any of my preferences in PBS. So then I have like 20-30 lines of individuals trips I want. OH and then on the 10th they update all the trips in the packet and you have to go through ALL OF THEM to make sure the company didn't change a pairing number.

Navblue was the best.
