Regionals are canceling flights and pulling aircraft and routes due to the inability to staff. Commutair just got offered large raises with increased benefits including paid hotels in base for commuters. If now is not the time to stop the slide in this profession, then when?
For me, I don't see it as a concession. I'm trading something I don't value much for something I do value. I would not have voted yes if they simply offered concessions with no increased flow and the threat of shutdown. Hope that helps you understand where I'm coming from.
