What a September Offer Might Be Worth

An early look at a possible September offer. Terms are still being negotiated, so treat every number here as a starting point, not a final answer.

Accurate as of September 11, 2026. Not an official SPEEA or Boeing document, not voting advice. What's confirmed so far: a 10% immediate raise, then a flat 4% raise for everyone in 2027 with no pool at all. The 6% pool (4% guaranteed, 2% by rating and market position) starts in 2028. No ratification bonus has been confirmed — you can turn one on below to see what it would mean.
PART A · Cash after ratification what's confirmed and what isn't

The immediate raise alone,
before any yearly raises
2027 is a flat 4% for everyone — no rating, no market position, no pool. Starting 2028, your rate becomes 4% guaranteed + your combined multiplier × 2%, and can shift slightly year to year as your pay moves closer to (or further from) the typical rate for your job. Unlike August's offer, none of this depends on inflation.

Each row is that year's base salary under each offer — not a one-time payment, but what you'd actually be paid for the full year. The last column adds up the yearly differences, which is why it can be bigger than the 2030 difference alone: earning more every year adds up to more than just the difference in the final year. Bonuses aren't included here — see the table below.

August's row is a known fact — Boeing already put those numbers on the table, and they don't change no matter what you toggle. September's row follows your toggle above: off shows $0, which tells you how much of August's one-time money September would need to match.
PART D · Promotion and out-of-sequence raises same as the August offer — not known to change

Based on the same 2026 data used for the August offer. Nothing suggests this is changing for September, but that hasn't been confirmed either.

IAM 751 represents mechanics and other skilled trades at Boeing — a completely separate union and contract from SPEEA. Rates are from their own wage card, effective September 11, 2026, after a 20¢ COLA and 9% GWI. Grade A and 4 through 11 are shown; the wage card's Nurse(B) rate is a different job classification and isn't included. IAM 751 members also get a small COLA indexed to inflation on an ongoing basis — real money, not included in the totals above, since we have no reliable way to project future inflation. "Max rate" assumes 6 years of service, per IAM's own stated progression schedule. Overtime: mechanics get time-and-a-half; this proposed SPEEA contract is stated as straight time plus $8.50/hour instead — a flat add, not a multiplier, so the two structures compare differently as overtime hours increase.

Professional and Technical are shown separately, each on its own dollar scale — the two units have meaningfully different typical pay (Technical's average is well below Professional's), and combining them into one chart compressed Technical's distribution into a sliver against Professional's wider range. Each bar is a $20,000-wide slice of that unit's own pay distribution — taller means more people at that pay level, not a percentage. The last, grayed-out bar collects everyone above roughly the 97th percentile into one "and up" total — very few members earn in that range, and spreading them across their own bars was stretching the axis and compressing the detail right around the mechanic's pay, which is where the actual comparison happens. The shaded zones show below (red) and above (green) the mechanic's pay at the current overtime setting; the dashed line marks that exact figure. Each unit's own Today and 2030 charts share a scale so the shift between them is directly comparable, but Professional's scale and Technical's scale differ from each other.

Salary, end of contract (2030)————
These use reconstructed individual salaries (compa position times that person's own level's market reference) from Boeing's Feb 20, 2026 salary review charts — real people, not a per-level average. 11,192 of 11,513 Prof and 2,868 of 3,423 Tech members were recoverable this way; the small remainder isn't included. "After this contract" projects each person's own current salary forward through the full September offer (2027 flat 4%, 2028-2030 differentiated), assuming a S=8 rating ("Met" all four years) for everyone, since individual ratings aren't known. Each unit's own pooled compa-adjustment table is used for its own members. The mechanic's own pay isn't projected forward the same way — the wage card only gives current rates, plus a COLA we're not quantifying (noted above).
