If they want to come back to us for say, more planes, then we could negotiate a little more aggressively. They mentioned the fact that staffing could become an issue in the near future and that we could get some improvements to the deal later on to help attract pilots.
Our NC is putting their money where their mouth is on this one as they are right in that "pay cap" area and will immediately feel the effects of this TA.
I think it makes sense.
So you had leverage and rolled over in exchange for the possibility of growth airplanes and flying shifted from one regional to yours, and you are hoping that management will come to you know for improvements? And then you will have more leverage? You have them 10+ years of not having to make contract improvements.
