Ferd's is interesting. 2 stars means he'll be on 2nd and 3rd break... the star means he'll take the takeoff and the landing.
Oh, and then there is the 6 year New Hires...

Then a Captain pointed it out the other way to a JS once and the JS told him he was wrong, they pulled out the contract and what my Captain was saying seemed legit.
Then I found that same article to all employees on Deltanet as well.
I guess that makes since why there was this exchange last year...

We’ll take our next question from Mary Jane Credeur with Bloomberg News.
Mary Jane Creduer - Bloomberg News
Hi, folks. Can you talk a little bit about how you’re going to afford that new pilot contract?
Richard Anderson - Delta Air Lines CEO
Hi, Mary Jane, this is Richard. Sorry for not saying hello. When you look at the overall value that we’re going to create as a result of unlocking the ability to refleet plus the productivity that has been built into that agreement, we’re confident that it will be an important part of our ability to get to unit cost over the next couple of years to improve our margins and our return on invested capital.
Ed Bastian – President
And, Mary Jane, this is Ed. One additional thing, we also reduced the profit sharing going forward and that’s an important part of helping to fund that cost growth.
Mary Jane Creduer - Bloomberg
Okay. Thank you.

Southwest has been in Section 6 for over a year with zero progress thus far, FDX has been in about the same amount and has a few sections done.
United has about 4 years until amendable
Alaska has about 5 years until amendable
American has about 6.5 years until amendable
USAirways.... nevermind

I responded, "Uh, well... looks like everything is in AUTO, so that looks right. I'd prefer light spit, hold the mucus in my Coke, please."
She was the chick in that scene, just 40 years later. Still doing redeye transcon turns. Still telling all pilots age 60 and younger how they could be her oldest kid.

SWA won't top us by much if any in 2015. They will be content to whistle past the gate with minimal improvements in the hopes that others help to return their historic cost advantage to more favorable levels. Their pay went way up, other's came way down, and the productivity gap, while still in their favor, has narrowed drastically. However UAL's new contract, while not exactly leapfrogging ours, is much better than the last one we were semi-patterning against, and AA and...omg...omg...IF USAir's self imposed single issue WTFYGTBMFSM contract at least puts them anywhere in the realm of average, we will be in a much better position. At that point, even if we are higher, the differential will be much less than last time.
And then there's "scope opportunities"...
