As others guys have said there are far to many guys just willing to let the 190 pay go right at the start. I think that's dumb.
This is a familiar conversation, yes. There's a reason JB ALPA guys didn't include any 737s on the comparison guide. The only plane in the group that pays higher than our 190 is Delta's 717.
I'm not saying we should or shouldn't pay more for the 190. I'm saying based on the expectation management being distributed by our OWN guys, don't expect much of a pay increase, if any.
