How much do they save a year with this substandard contract?
That answered, until B6 cant staff airplanes, theyll run a skeleton op with few upgrades.

Bozo,
I agree staffing the airline is priority #1.
There could also be displacement, new aircraft purchase, and even merger/acquisition issues that the company would want a TA in place before proceeding.
The bottom line is, there's absolutely NOTHING this company can do to compete with the Legacies.
Even if we got Delta pay, work rules, retirement, vacation/sick systems, how do you compete with their stability, and even now, the fact upgrade and QOL increases are much, MUCH quicker there than it will ever be here.
JB will need to agree with a Delta-like contract just to stop the hemorrhaging.....I think this can be a destination airline for many, but it will never be for all who end up here.....JB will always be a stepping stone to the big leagues....the question is for the company is, how fast do you want the departures to average year over year.
