Add to the outrages the usual suspects like scope relief (more large RJ's, even larger RJ's, code sharing with regionals in super large RJ's, redefining block time, etc).
Gotta watch them though. Always.
Bingo... I haven't seen anything that raises any real threat alarms.
More freezes? We already have the longest freezes of the legacy carriers. I've doubted that one from the get go. If anyone tells you we have the highest training costs in the industry, that is BS. UA (even with their pay banding....I'm looking at you, Jerry) is the runaway winner with that and their very lenient freezes for moving up.
Sick leave change? yeah... the company is going to want something in that arena, though.
