People are going to go to the first place that offers a class date and leave if they’re not happy. No amount of money is going to change that.
I want to fix the problems we have with our current CBA for current SWAPA. It’s not my job to negotiate for what people not on the list might want. That’s on management to recruit and retain.
I think you missed the point.
You said you were willing to accept less compensation than pilots at other airlines because you are on smaller equipment.
I’m saying that the top tier airlines are all competing to hire from the same pilot pool.....therefore it’s apples to apples and the company has to pay the same to be competitive in hiring.
