I agree with what you're saying.. They are shooting for industry avg in our peer group(United, delta, AA, Alaska, JetBlue, and SWA). As we've seen, that avg has changed quite a bit and will change after delta gets a deal. If the NC sent out their ask months ago at what was industry avg to the pilot group, then the mediator would start there. Fortunately their last ask was above United's current rates. Now, their ask can adjust for others receiving new deals.
