My assertion only serves as a caution to those who are making the argument that our TA will be at the bottom in a couple years based on what's being negotiated elsewhere. The mediator does not care what (insert airline here) is asking for or what they may have in 2017. I'm saying this so people who are thinking of voting no understand what we can and can't ask for.
I am not saying WHO we can and can't compare ourselves to, I'm talking about WHAT we can and can't compare ourselves to.
I agree with you. an A320 pay rate needs to be close to on par with any legacy A320. If its drastically lower, eventually LCCs will not be able to staff, If they want to keep pilots there and not have them jump ship to Legacies, then they will need to make the pay somewhat comparative.
