The trouble is convincing some that there is more to a contract than pay rates, vac pay, and training pay.

A defined benefit plan, vacation override, vacation drops, no PBS, pay rates far higher... I would go on, but the fact of the matter is that the cost of that contract was far higher per pilot than the current one. It is up to our pilot group through our reps and NC to prioritize how we want to spend that in contractual provisions.

This isn't about 'I,' 'you' or 'me.' It is about we.

10.5 % was the pilot cost at 2000
7.2 % is the cost today and with the AIP it will go to 7.8

1 Billion per year was the profit during 99-2000
and expected to be 4.3 B for 2015 and around 4.9B for 2016


The choice is yours to make when you see the TA

M2c says it will pass the membership ratification by 72%
It passed the MEC for sure otherwise why would they converting it from AIP to a TA language !!!

Pay rates and work rules in this contact far exceed anything we ever had at CAL. While I'm thrilled to have a better contract, I agree with most of you that we can do better. Much better.

Thanks Sniper

Year/Pilots/Rev/Profit
2000/10.5%/$1.0B
2015/07.2%/$4.3B
2016/07.6%/$4.9B (if AIP implemented)

Wow!

Wow!
In 2000 the airline industry picture looked different, with about 8 major airlines instead of 4. Also I'm sure DAL, AA, SWA have similar numbers to our 7.6%. Also if we were at 12% does that mean you would argue concessions? It feels like everyone is reaching for some way to benchmark how much we should make, and that we are being cheated out of something. The percentages above mean nothing. Whatever that C2000 UAL contract was doesn't exist, didn't make sense, and isn't the baseline for anything except unrealistic expectations.

Why didn't it make sense? What % of revenues is a 'realistic' expectation for pilot costs?

Your realistic "baseline" for pilot costs is inversely proportional to the number of applicants lined up at the front door...it has nothing to do with revenue, profitability or a historical contract.

The market determines everything.

Hmmmm......I don't recall a shortage of applicants, or a problem with applicant quality, when UAL signed C2000.

The company did, however, need to overcome a litany of operational difficulties (many related to pilot motivation and moral) while simultaneously trying to get the politicians to approve a merger.

Seems like pilot leverage (internal supply) was the differentiation in that case and not external supply-and-demand.
