They enjoy their paychecks too. And will endeavor to keep collecting them.
I can see a scenario where they wait too long and the problem is not recoverable, but I view that as an outlier on the opposite end of the spectrum from an MOU increasing everyone’s pay $50 an hour. While it is a concern I suspect they will wait to see where the legacies set the new bar, and then bargain with that knowledge and some cost benefit analysis with junior pilot turnover in mind.
It’s going to get ugly, wild and interesting. And probably drive some decision making by C suites that not many see coming.
