Why is that a bad thing? I want the 5%- whether they get it too has nothing to do with me, as far as I’m concerned. If anything, their me too makes it easier for us to keep our 5% as it ensures UAL that exceeding DAL rates will not result in a comparative disadvantage on labor cost.

It’s not meaningless at all unless your metric is being paid more than Delta. The way I see it, our contract should make us at least even with inflation, & our pandemic LOA entitles us to an additional 5%. So anything less than inflation +5% on DOS would be an automatic no for me. The fact that DAL’s snap up will get them a raise as a result is the part that’s meaningless to me. I care that I get what I was promised- not that someone else doesn’t get it too.

If we have to match rates, let’s quantify what they 5% is financially to the company and then insist it get transferred to quality of life.

But if you focus on that 5% carrot instead of work rules/qol, DL will have the better contract in the end, despite the fact that you negotiated for the extra 5% during covid while they didn't. Focusing on that silly 5% is myopic. Focusing on getting better work rules/qol than DL is not.
