Great info from those who have read the proposal. It was asked earlier, but I would still like to hear more about what the pilot group will have to "give away". I come from the school of thought that says "nothing is for free". There MUST be a reason for the huge pay bump and the pilot bases (the two largest issues). Are they trying to out-pay the competition in order to suck in all the best pilots? Is there a hiring shortage because the majors are finally hiring again? (I doubt that though) Are they driving up the pay so that IF the competition match, they will go bankrupt? Is there some fine print that isn't known about 401K, benefits, health care, etc.?

Bottom line is, what's the catch?
