Ah, not necessarily. It seems like there are definitely win/win scenarios in this TA. However, I feel like it those scenarios are getting charged and paid for by the pilots, instead of being considered zero cost items.

For example, seems like newhire pay should not be considered a cost. It's what the company needs to do to attract qualified pilots. The die trying (is that what they call it?) shouldn't cost, it's a win for the company, and something many of our pilots would like. Also, retirement notification shouldn't be considered a cost, it keeps people through peak of 2016, an incentive that shouldn't be paid for through other concessions.
