seems to me AAG is trying to get a lock on potential cost increases (e.g. wages) before the financial environment changes in the pilots' favor.
They won't go after wages, but rather work rules and benefits. I believe our pilot group is strong and will vote NO to any concessions whatsoever. Brad Tilden wants to lock in a concessionary contract now so they won't have to pay Skywest more money once their agreements become amendable as their costs have surely risen.
