Every number cited to the page of the source document. No ads, no tracking, no accounts. Free for mechanics, always. This site takes no position on any union, election, or ratification vote.
Current verified scale rate only — before license, shift, lead and retirement additions. Hover or use arrow keys for exact values; the table below carries every number with its citation.
Step chart: a mechanic earns the rate of the highest step reached. Scales end at their top step; the flat tail to the right edge shows the top rate continuing. Effective columns differ by carrier (American Airlines 2026-01-01; United Airlines 2024-01-01; Southwest Airlines 2025-08-16).
§ opens the citation: document, page, section, verification method and date. States are explicit: not published means the agreement is silent (verified), not yet verified means nobody has confirmed it here yet — neither is zero.
