[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 3680048, member: 2193"] Congrats to all involved on getting this resolved. Keep in mind they have not had a raise for 4 years so an immediate 16% pay increase is really 4% a year and then 3% raise for the next 5 years so not that crazy in terms of annual increases. I'd also contend that an airline mechanics is a more specialized and skilled position than package driver. Aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) need to go to school for training and need to obtain FAA certification to work on aircraft. Nothing to do with the physical nature of the jobs as both are demanding, arguably the package car driver more than mechanic, but the mechanic certainly requires more specialized skills to perform their job. Also, Bureau of Labor Statistics show AMT job growth for next 8 years growing faster than delivery truck drivers so another factor in slightly higher annual raise percentage. [/QUOTE]
