Snapbacks based on 2019 traffic will take YEARS to recover. In the meantime, the bottom third will have an MPG in the 30’s with the exception of summers and maybe December for the next 5 years or so.
Those in the bottom third will seek employment elsewhere, moving the lines that define the thirds steadily up the seniority list (which is no longer a seniority list in the true sense).
Future contract gains will be lost as massive amounts of negotiating capital will be required to repair the carnage done to the contract.
This is crazy.

All this is off speculation yes but I am glad people are looking at the different ways this might be presented as “not a concession”. Seriously expect a sell job if this passes higher up..If it doesn’t it will die on the vine and we won’t see it. But It would be obtuse to think long term concessions will not be part of this. When was the last contract amendable date again?
