Interesting and thanks a lot.
If WO direct compensation doesn’t increase (perhaps not the highest but at least in the ballpark with the top paying regional airlines), isn’t American (mainline) concerned that the WO’s won’t attract a high enough caliber individual today to represent AA well tomorrow as an FO & CA? In other words, at some point with EDV paying first year FO’s $50/hr & RPA paying $45/hr and now XJT & SKW paying the same or better than EDV, isn’t AAG worried that the only folks who will want to work for the WO’s (and eventually flow to AA) are those who would likely have essentially no chance of being competitive for hire at a legacy or WN if they didn’t have flow to AA?
