What You Need to Know About the Industry Reset Model

As we enter negotiations on economic issues with United Airlines, it’s critical that all technicians come together in solidarity for the industry-leading contract we deserve. Staying informed and engaged is key — especially when misinformation circulates. 

Recently, we’ve seen an inaccurate chart about reset calculations being shared online and at some stations. Let’s set the record straight: 

The United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee is working hard to reach a tentative agreement for a strong new contract for the membership.

Because our reset calculation shows us to be above our competitors by a substantial enough margin, wages for United Airlines technicians will not increase as part of the 2024 Industry Reset Model.

This model was created to ensure the value of the United technicians agreement is at least 102 percent of the average pay and benefits received by technicians at American Airlines and Delta Airlines. The 2024 Reset Model showed that United technician pay and benefits are above the threshold needed to trigger an adjustment to our wage scales.

The United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee continued bargaining on Wednesday with the company, finalizing the last bargaining session before the contract’s December 5 amendable date. After starting the process of revamping the system bid protocol and finally receiving data from the company regarding the attendance of United Airlines Teamsters during adverse conditions, the committee decided to revisit these issues until later in the negotiating process. Negotiations on Article 5: Filling of Vacancies and Article 7: Hours of Service will continue after bargaining on the contract’s economic issues are complete.
