Just compare our current total compensation (pay+retirment+medical+other) to the going "market rate."

If nothing else, use JetBlue (no contract) as a proxy for narrow body pilots. You'd be looking at an approximate 30% cut and a hit to scheduling and work rules.

The only pilot shortage is at the regionals, and it's really a pay shortage. There is absolutely no shortage of pilots willing to work for 2/3's of the UPA.

Once the union is gone we can get rid of that silly seniority system that costs the company $$$ and simply roster pilots. Heck, pilots could place economic bids (like the independent contractors they have become) for BES.

Low bid wins. That's door #2.
