Q: How much did the increased sick leave cap cost in the overall deal – what did we leave on the table?
Nothing – the Company costs the deal based on the first year of the contract. Nobody will be able to reach the new cap in the first year and therefore they couldn’t charge us for something that wasn’t possible.
If TA is ratified, there will be a line item that they put on their “profit and loss” financial statement, but it wasn’t a cost factor in our overall deal. This brings us up to the highest sick leave bank cap in the industry, matching Southwest.
