If you want to go rain on someone’s parade, go rain on the regionals that “had to accept” low pay and QOL without a flow.
“We’re paying for that compromise now”? How many non-WO folks are going to mainline right now? Every regional is hurting right now, the WOs are in the same boat as everyone else.
Define "had to accept"? Some would argue the WO's and Non-WO's would be in a far better place right now had some regionals rejected the supposed "had to accept" deals of the past. I am NOT trying to start that argument up as it has been long talked about and nothing new could really be said, but I don't think there is anything that is a "had to accept" condition.
Could there have been job losses, loss of aircraft etc because an offer was turned down? Sure, there could have been, but in the long term what did it save given our current state of affairs?
