So if we were in a normal Four or five yr contract it would of looked like this 12.5/4/4/4/4, but if the negative waves man pilots on this forum (say it like in Kelly's heroes) are close in there pay predictions then our pay looks like this 12.5/4/4/15/4/4. More than a 33% increase in pay in six yrs. Not to shabby IMO. But like others have said it all depends on the rest of the contract.
Your objective numbers may be correct but your subjective categorization lacks context. "Not too shabby?" Really?
33% would be good if it was not a snapshot taken after most of us lost upwards of 40%.

failingfud,
Your feigned ignorance rings hollow.
Get your rest. Break out the FUD. RA needs you working overtime to sell this thing starting Tuesday.
New guys: FUD = Fear Uncertainty Doubt.
See how many times you can catch the sales team peddling it. It would be great drinking game fodder...if it wasn't meant to take money out of our pockets.

Call to Action
We have never sent the NC back after reaching a TA. If all you lurkers are as concerned as I am, I strongly suggest you email your reps today!
Here is my email to my 44 reps with cc's to MD and all the LEC chairs:
Of course rumors are flying and they sound quite disturbing.
As a member who pays a significant amount of dues each year, and considering this is the best economic/negotiating environment in my almost 27yrs, I am expecting nothing short of spectacular…
If we reduce/give back/concede on ANY section of our PWA, it must be sent back. Period. If we must accept LESS INCREASE in one section to allow MORE INCREASE in another section, I would understand that.
The total value of this contract can be no less the 1 Billion per year… that is entirely reasonable and doable, given the multi-billion dollar buy backs for investors and executives.
Considering our current PS and section 3.B.4, I am more than willing to “wind the clock” and remain status quo under our current contract. (And PS is a bonus. Period. It is something we accepted to take some of the sting out of the last 11yrs. It is not to be touched. Period.)
If DALPA/ALPA cannot achieve an epic contract in these unprecedented financial times, than we have the wrong representational body. I will be forced to look for another entity that will be a better steward of my hard earned wages… this is not a threat, but is purely a business decision.
Based on many conversations in my cockpits since 2012, I am not alone in this thinking.
Thank you.
P.s., I am in Asia and I know you are busy. A reply is not necessary, as your vote and the votes of the MEC will be reply enough.

Rumor of 10% moved to $6 billion 20% above for profit sharing.
Even you wouldn't vote for that would you Sailing?
My dog can negotiate better than that.
3:30 vacation?? That's not negotiating, that's playing dead..
Was Bernie negotiating from Weekend at Bernie's doing our bidding?
The home team is already selling on the chit chat forum.
Yes the TA is pathetic, but do you want to get parked?
Is this what Mike Donnatelli meant when he said we wouldn't rush into a bad deal?
He makes Tim O'Malley seem like a rock star.
