What percentages would you allocate to the pay rates? If you provide some numbers I will update the analysis and repost.

Or can you tell me a better estimate of how much the pilots conceded?

Also, I did not consider that LCAs lost over 15 hours of pay. Their guarantee is typically higher. Since the union said "reduce minimum guarantee to 60" the LCAs had their pay cut by more than 15 hours. Maybe this has been resolved, but last I heard it was not.

Lastly, I did not consider all of the value from the stay at home lines. That saved the company a considerable amount of money as well.



Nowhere in here am I demanding that it be paid to furloughed pilots. All I'm saying, since others brought up the concessions, is that the dollar value could bring about 50 pilots back from furlough. It's an option. If it were possible, I would encourage ALPA to put it to a vote. There are lots of options. Would you rather recoup your concessions, pay for all furloughed pilots health insurance, bring only 50 pilots back, etc.? All of these are feasible considering the cost savings that we supplied to the company.
