I know everyone thinks PBS is right around the corner, but I think we’re probably further away from it now than we were in 2020. And the longer the company waits to try and strike a deal the more leverage they lose in the current market. So meh. I wouldn’t get too worried about it.
2023 is when our contract is up and I foresee a multi-year section 6 negotiation ala Air Wisconsin. They’ll only improve things if they are forced to via attrition and inability to find new hires.
And the longer they wait the less of a carrot the flow is. Hiring is about to go completely nuts industry-wide and unless they make it attractive to stay, many will just leave as soon as they can.
