No, I don't believe so. Even Comair had a higher rate when XJT ratified their current contract. And the reason being is because the XJT CEO didn't want to be the next airline to set the bar in 50 seat wages. So they came up with the B fund idea. Also, add pay during vacation helps both sides. So that's a wash.
