I don't want to sound like a total jerk, but don't guess. Read the May 2016 investor slides, specifically page 14 bullet 4. Pilot demographics ("Juniority") and the salary/compensation structure are specifically listed as a CASM "tailwind". It isn't something to get all bent out of shape over, after all the company is very up-front that this is a highly competitive "low cost" carrier and the entire business model depends on low costs across the board.
Following contract rules... that seems to be a separate issue. My utterly worthless advice is merely don't skip reading the investor reports even after you're working for a company.
