So for them, market rates for labor, just another resource, have been capped recently at 12/4. I mean they are probably going to spend 4 Billion on this fleet.
I personally think it’s somewhat of a joke that they, mgmt, think that what has been negotiated has any chance of passing. I would not vote for it given the opportunity. I think the idea of a Comair 2 is more of a joke than a serious rumor, it took Delta 11 years to wind down Comair, and how much did they save by sending the frames to ASA which is senior pilot group. I think Comair was unique because they bought that company for 2 Billion and it blew up in their face for many reasons.
