Heck, XJT management wanted PBS so bad and rescheduling favored management even more than ours does here as well as transition language. Even at the peak the fleet was only 274 planes. I’ve got to assume that this 300 plane rumor is complete poppycock and there are efficiencies gained. Enough to pay for the new rigs after we already gave them transition, training, rescheduling, and most rsv drops for free? That’s the question.

The rigs aren’t even earth shattering. They are slightly below industry standard even. This management just wants to keep us low tier as long as possible. I thought we made our bed and they would be satisfied for for another five years of cost savings and stall for another three in negotiations. To be playing these games only a year in to a bottom industry contract that already saves them huge is just low brow.
