The following September 12, 2012 + 36 example is provided for illustrative purposes only.
For AMT’s, Crew Chiefs, Tech Crew Chiefs and Inspectors: At September 12, 2012+36 months, a calculation will be made to determine the maximum regular hourly pay rate (i.e., base pay plus all relevant premiums) of the line mechanics at Delta, United, and US Airways in effect on that date. Those rates will then be averaged (arithmetic mean) and compared to the equivalent AMT rate at AA, including any coincidental structural increase (i.e., the annual 3.0% increase to base pay at 36 months). If AA’s maximum regular hourly pay rate is below the average, AMT’s will receive an increase equal to the differential between AA and the average. In combination, the scheduled structural increase and the supplemental structural increase to base pay will yield a maximum regular hourly pay rate that equals the average of the comparator airlines.
The following September 12, 2012 + 36 example is provided for illustrative purposes only.
Max Regular Pay Rate AA $35.81 UA $38.76 DL $37.21 US $35.62 AVG. $37.20
Wage Gap = Legacy Avg. Max Regular Pay Rate – AA Max Regular Pay Rate = $37.20 – $35.81 = $1.39 3.0% Increase Value = AA Max Base Pay Rate x 3.0% = $29.73 x 3.0% = $0.89.
3.0% Increase Value = AA Max Base Pay Rate x 3.0% = $29.73 x 3.0% = $0.89. Title I AMT Adjustment = Wage Adjustment –3.0% Increase Value = $1.39 – 0.89 =$0.50
