Yes of course he must add a qualifier about the FA/pilot contracts but this is a done deal in my opinion. Anything they can get above and beyond through concessions from already agreed upon contracts is simply gravy.
I agree with your reasoning. When SkyWest was only flying the 200 and EMB-120, we were told that we needed to fly the 700 at 200 rates or we couldn't get the flying. I
think it was THE NEXT DAY after the vote closed when they announced the 700 flying. Rates were already set and they got everyone to buy into the fear to make even more money.
Sometimes pilots are in such a rush to "help" the company out that we end up on the short end of the stick.
