If you want to flow to AA, you need the FO #'s to come ( and stay w/PSA). It is the only way you will get the monthly flow # to a better place.

A) it'll get you on the AA list sooner, ie. seniority / pay value will far exceed the value of the quarterly bonus.

B) With the current 'attrition only' type hiring, you can count on annual hold backs to Dec of whatever flow year you end up in. Jan 1 flow can be held to Dec. of that year. Huge loss of seniority/pay/longevity. There is no doubt that this will be the case moving forward without FO hiring/retention.

C) current RSV / junior CA's will see a seniority / QOL bump from new UPG meat at bottom.

There is a tangible benefit to every segment of the pilot group that should not be overlooked. Keep your eye on the ball. The MEC did the right thing for everybody here.
