The airlines pattern bargain. That is my expectation. UPS is our closest peer. Pay rates should be our easiest get since they are so black and white. We’ve trailed UPS pay since 2016. UPS already has company-wide WB rates, so we’d still be behind there. If we don’t get UPS plus a nickel, that’s an easy offer to politely decline.
