Otherwise they can compare our outsourcing to DAL/AMR/UAL only, and I'll compare the pay to only those companies.
None of the ULCCs/LCCs have regional feed. So Alaska gets either get air tight scope, reclaim all the regional flying, and average LCC pay rates. Or they stop with the charade and pony up the legacy pay scales.
