The 'strategy' of sending pilots back to work prior to the pilots even seeing the TA (let alone voting on it) certainly neutered most of the strategic advantage the pilots had, it would seem.
Looking just @ payrates (not a good analysis, but all I could do @ the time), here's the #'s from just after signing the TA last year:
- Spirit's average new DOS payscale for CA's lags industry average CA pay by 11.6%.
- Spirit's average new DOS payscale for FO's lags industry average FO pay by 20.4%.
- Spirit's average new DOS+4 payscale for CA's leads industry average CA pay by 7.0%.
- Spirit's average new DOS+4 payscale for FO's lags industry average FO pay by 2.6%.
