So PSA unless you have Pinnacle cost structure as far as pay rates you will be asked for concessions. And please don't fall for the whole B scale fiasco, because it will become the scale for current pilots along with new hires. By the end of next week this thread will be singing a different song one way or the other.
Making an LOA to allow extra IOE or withholding of lines for training etc would require such. That wouldn't mean concessions etc. Asking for help to recruit pilots from our group to staff planes could also be asked for. Changing the job progression clause to suit the new AA would require meeting. I can think of as many reasons not negative as I can positive. So again to come here saying, "I hear PSA was asked for concessions" is again nothing but a move to stir the pot.
