Seriously the pilot group deserves it but it ain’t gonna happen. Management is not going to pay more money out unless their hand is forced. Retired airline pilots are heading over in droves, classes are filled and overall attrition is low. There’s no reason to shorten duty days and improve QOL when so many pilots refuse to fatigue and take care of their mental and physical states. Until the metal stops moving for any reason, like they cannot fill classes, attrition becomes unmanageable, and these pilots stop flying half comatose, nothing real is going to happen.
