Bumbling Bob said our ask Keeps going up (yeah, no **** that's because everyone keeps signing new deals, including Hawaiian which has AIP) He said we are getting to the money items now and we will "get big raises" but our current contract is "unproductive". (Yeah, who builds the pairings with one leg genius?).
He said our current contract was negotiated "12-14 years ago", lol and if we want comparative pay we will need comparative work rules". SO THERE YA GO, IF OUR WORK RULES MIRROR THAT OF ANY LEGACY, I EXPECT LEGACY PAY, THAT IS WHAT BOB JUST SAID.
The women also asked if we are having problems arratcting Pilots, Bobs reply "we are happy with our hiring". Yeah, sure you are, too bad you failed to mention lowering of minimums and an increased attrition
One last thing, if Bob thinks we are willing to take AA work rules for JB pay, he's out of his fng mind
