As far as the Fleet difference goes, you’re correct. The E190 is a much different culture, which is why there isn’t much movement off the fleet. I can’t speak to the status of the bus guys.
No, we are in FACT worst among our peers. Spirit and Frontier have TERRIBLY outdated contracts that are in the very end-stage negotiations (like us according to you guys) that we are. So, as stated yesterday and agreed to after the fact by JTrain, Spirit and Frontier only serve as BAD data points for us as a comparison right now.
Alaska/Virgin pay to come up substantially this week also. So yes, worst among our peers by any logical analysis.
