Fair enough, they expect it, unfortunately from a contractual point of view the MEC doesn’t have a leg to stand on, and is essentially hoping the company will “do the right thing”. It’s just my opinion but the company will laugh at “intent of the language” unless they feel that it would benefit them in some way wether it be attracting new hires or retaining the pilots we currently have.

They have a point.

UA rates plus essentially DEC opportunity for my base has me seriously considering. Not a thought process I ever would have expected to be having this many years in but it's real... I can't just look away and pretend it's not there.

United : $340.26
Delta : $336.89
AA: $336.36
Jetblue: $320
Southwest: $282.84

Average of those puts Alaska at $323.27 (current book is $318). That’s if Southwest isn’t able to come out with a TA in the next 7 weeks.

It would all have to be voted in correct? Do you really think AA will vote in their current AIP, considering was UA has on the table?

That’s the $6 question.

My understanding is that United’s contract won’t be ratified before September 1st.

The AIP includes this clause “These pay rates will increase by 1% immediately after Delta exercises their Snap Up provision. After these Snap Ups complete, Delta and United Pilot pay rates will match (1% higher than this table)”

How long will it take for Delta to exercise their Snap Up provision? At that point, Delta and United will be tied at $343.66.

I'll be budgeting for the 318 slope for my seat and years at AS on September 1. Nothing higher. Anything different would be a very pleasant surprise but I'd be completely shocked if we are offered anything other than what is contractually required.

yup we will snap sep 1 of 24

if everyone has contracts (in my hypothetical southwest at 360 tfp conversion) we will snap to 353 in 2024
still behind DL UA AA but lucky we can start negations at the end of 2024 so not all hope is lost but still a bummer we will miss this years wish.com snap clause

It is less disappointing if you call it what it is. A blended average market adjustment. We do not have a snap-up provision. That is a specific term that applies to the language that the major airlines have. Just like a signing bonus should not be called retro pay. I would be disappointed if Alaska Airlines applied something outside of our contractually 86% approved language. If our 86% approved language is met to the letter then we get that and if it is not then we get 318 as we should. And not a dime more

That sounds about right.
