That doesn't work for the pattern bargaining environment when the economy is good. The better contract/pay/QOL that came at AA, then UA, and then DL (respectively in order) happened regardless of the conditions at Spirit. In a good environment those contracts help the LCC ask for more, and vice versa when the economy tanks the legacies will come for concessions to mirror more LCC stuff.
