I hope that Min Calendar Day makes it into our contract, too. There are so many things on my wishlist.

It appears we are in very good hands and will not be given a subpar TUMI 1+ to vote on.
If this goes to the NMB they will see it this way too. They will analyze how the total cost of the Delta agreement compares to our potential deal and not be concerned how we got here. The 5% will be lost in the shuffle and our deal will be on par with what Delta set as the new industry standard. We’ll get a say in how the pie is divided, but expecting a significantly bigger pie than Delta isn’t realistic, not even in this market.

The current ask is significantly larger than DALs…to the tune of 3b. If not this market…what market?

The market is now set by a mediator in a negotiation with our direct pier. I’m good with the union asking for 10b, just as I’m not angry for the company to start at 5b. The market and more importantly the leverage for the next Tumi will likely be 7.5b or so, it’s now just figuring out how best to get there. There will be lots of noise from both sides till the day it’s done. There is no incentive for either side to continue to drag this out. Count me as one who feels it’s done sooner than later.

We will know how serious the suites are next week. It’s time.

My patience will be pretty worn out by the end of next week. Company and union had the Delta yardstick and a not unreasonable assumption that it was likely to pass so we could have seen something even before today. We can’t fill Captain spots and have planes coming like never before. This needs to get resolved and we need to move on. A strong contract that tops Delta is expensive as it should be and gets us back to the top of everyone’s application wish list.

Asking is fine, and we should try for significantly more, however thinking that we’ll actually get 3 billion over Delta is not realistic though.

Sounds like you think 7.2B in improvements will get us to parity with DAL. It won't. It'll take a larger get than 7.2 just to get us even. Some in management, and even a few reps in west coast domiciles, will try to make you feel guilty for wanting more than 7.2. You'll know it's a trick when they say "quality contract" in their communication.

Those are the the wrong reps then. Re-read my statement. I said nothing about a 7.2 ask.

Maybe I took it wrong. I thought , when you wrote "significantly larger than DALs," you were insinuating that our proposal was not reasonable. You mentioned "to the tune of 3b." If that wasn't in reference to the 7.2B, what was it in reference to?
