So what are United's new proposed rates?

I heard it's a pony for every pilot, including retro hay.

Wait, wait. A Shetland pony or a full sized pony?

Why did she get a pony?

Rumor:

1. DAL minus $1 for pay rates
2. DAL Scope
3. Vacation pay 3.25 per day
4. Min Pay per Day 5 Hours
5. B-Fund 16%
6. RETRO 400 Million to be split up with 250 Million at signing and 150 Million at seniority list integration



There is one part that is not included in this rumor, and that is the "100 seat" growth that Delta got (88 717s). At least there was a carrot with growth with the 717s, which are coming and are tied in with the incoming 70 76 seat RJs. (no RJs if no 717s).

400 million, not even close to what we deserve. Big no vote!

I think it is 40 acres and a mule

Full retro pay or likely anything near it is a dream that will never come true, the amount is simply too large and it has to come out of cash. It's not going to happen, I'm not aware of any lengthy negotiation where anybody got anything near full retro pay value recently. If you want to wait to get what you think you deserve you will wait for a very long time and you will still not get it in the end. I'm not saying vote yes on a really terrible deal but you have to compare any proposed deal to what you have now, in the end that's the only comparison that really matters. Without a deal your gains are zero and likely to remain that way for a long time. Anyway, good luck, I hope the TA is a decent one and if not I hope you have the leverage to force a better one to surface.

I'm curious, what do you think you'll be able to get?

DAL borrowed $600M, put it in escrow, to be paid to pilots upon completion of contract/SLI. $400M is pennies to these companies.

I choose option #6 followed by retirement the next day and a new boat in the islands the next.
