Not everything comes down to pay and pay isn't always about the short term. There is value in upgrading quicker, flowing quicker, getting TPIC quicker beyond just the per hour dollar amount.
When you say small percentage of our pilot group, do you stop to think about how many people were thrilled to get Miami back? I understand that was once a base, but it shows that people live all over and having bases open is a good thing. Thats my opinion though your free to your own.
Well my opinion is that they had a LAX base before and they could certainly reopen it if they wanted to without this new agreement. MIA and LGA(NY) coming back had nothing to do with this agreement. It was a mistake for them to close them in the first place and proof to me that they did it out of pure spite. You are delusional to be excited at the THOUGHT of a PHX base. It is also a mistake to believe that you will flow sooner with this new agreement. I am on the side that they should fix rsv and qol issues before they negotiate anything else.
