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.
That's a spot on analysis. Worked the first time when he sold higher ‘pay band’ rates and a reduction in min guarantee. MG has all the corruption angles covered to keep things ‘status quo’. But hey, what's there not to like? Flight controls that don't control and motors that don’t motor: (IWA)Wind-shear 50’, TOGA w t f ?! (311NV)..
