After 3 years of stonewalling and dismissing, it's been smooth sailing, rainbows and ice cream lately because management needed some good press and economic issues have not been on the table. That will probably change. Bank on MG ponying up with an industry-standard pay scale and ZERO work rules. Old play book used ever since his 'death by 1000 paper cuts' days at west air. Scheduling, work rules and premium pay will likely be the battleground. Strategy will likely involve splitting the pilots and Ibt by trying to blow skirts up with eye popping pay scale enhancements. As a minimum, in management's eyes it will serve to attract and retain a sustainable number of pilots to fill the seats and continue the growth. Jmo.
