It doesn't automatically boil to $/hr and there is no one size fits all answer
The point of my post was to squash the misconception that the new JB AIP and Spirit TA will have higher hourly rates. Would it be foolish for some people to wait around and flow to AA when they could possibly go to JB? Absolutely. I don't need to rehash all the reasons that someone should jump on a JB opportunity as opposed to waiting to flow, you laid all of that out. I was simply pointing out a fact.
