How would this benefit recruitment?
Do you need a refresher on how CBA membership ratification works?
That's assuming the rate increases goes to the top 20-30%. There is nothing in stone that says the money won't go to the bottom.
In a couple years the majors won't be top heavy in seniority as all these guys retire.
Besides the majors aren't there yet. The regionals are. As evidenced by the ~250% pay increase on the bottom in one year.
Who knows what will happen but it will be good for pilots all over.
I really don't think the pay scales at the majors are that bad.
At the regionals it's insulting.
