West jet BOD wanted a deal to lock in labor costs and establish stability. These times of economic boon are a time for these airlines to gain market share and hold it. Labor disputes aren’t good for succeeding in those aspirations.
B6 BOD wants the same thing and the WestJet development is worth noting. This puts the spotlight on Warren C’s job, and buts both RH amd WC in a precarious position to find a deal with ALPA. Jetblue promoted a new position of Corporate Communications and hired a new Marketing Director. Something could be coming into fruition as far as a future vision and goal. WC and RH want to be a part of that, so it’s time to make a deal.
