and yet neither you or anyone else can come up with REAL data that shows how salary and compensation actually takes place so you want to ignore what is there, can provide nothing else to support your claims, and then trout out CBAs that say nothing about what happens in real life.
the reason why labor unions - and E - are relegated to being insignificant is because you make stupid statements like what you have and can produce no viable information - and only shoot down what does exist.
no, the labor movement is in decline because DL has proven in the airline industry that it is doing a better job of advancing the cause of its employees than any union is.
keep spinning.... it only gives me more opportunities to keep making the labor movement look stupid like they are and to highlight what DL is doing for its employees.
if you were half smart, you would stop.
but we know better.
besides, you and E supposedly have me on ignore... but here we are in yet another thread that you can't help but open your mouths and prove together how wrong you are.
It's been a few years since I dived into it, but what I do know is the MIT data CANNOT be used to derive base wages or even total compensation. The wage data simply can't be normalized, and those who do risk looking like a fool.
It's not due to mistakes in the data -- it's because corporations choose handle their internal expense accounting differently yet entirely within GAAP and what's required by the DOT. Outsourcing a particular function may be assigned entirely to one cash flow statement line at AA, split in two different statement lines at DL, and in a completely different line at UA.
There's some good comparison data available from MIT, but the only way it's been of value to me is for really use it for comparing a carrier to itself over time, not as a side by side comparison. Even there it is challenging, since with mergers has come differences in the accounting.
HORSE POOP.
HORSE POOP.
HORSE POOP.
In-house labor costs appear in one place and one place only on financial statements.
That is the ONLY issue that is at stake here.
this is not about outsourcing.
this is about UA's own INTERNAL employees.
They pay their employees less than DL employees.
and the absolute change in pay is still not explained by your explanation.
you are the one that looks like a fool every time you try to jump into a discussion about which you are motivated more by trying to prove someone wrong than to talk about the truth.
UA's only people have acknowledged the changes... Ralph Nader recognizes.
but EOlesen wants to come along and tell us that the data is all screwed up.
HORSE POOP.
HORSE POOP.
HORSE POOP.
