With economy should COLA be automatic?

Automatic COLA?
At 8% yearly inflation:
After 9 years, a $1,000,000 retirement/pension, will only have $472K in purchasing power.
People don’t understand how much they are being robbed.

It's already in the contract....


"Effective August 1, 2019 and every August 1 thereafter during the life of the Agreement, a cost-of-living allowance will be calculated on the basis of the difference between the Index for May 2019 (published June 2019) and every May thereafter, and the base Index for May 2018 (published June 2018) and every May thereafter, as follows:"

So what’s that equate to for a COLA raise for this year? Are we even getting one?

Not sure yet. They calculate it in May. The equation for the exact number they use is in tye contract. I've been told by my BA expect about 75 cents on top of the raise for August.

More reason to demand more in the next contract. New crew this time that hasn't had their pockets lined yet. That should mean we will get a decent contract next time without all the concessions.

I didn't complain, I asked a question.
That's what the question mark at the end means.

Is there a reason my question triggered you so much sweetheart? Go take a midol honey, you'll feel better in a few days.
