Are you implying that DL/UA/AA etc are somehow on the verge of being able to get the same percentage increase over current book as a permanent gain?
min not implying anything. Just putting out information about another workgroup at a smaller airline that may have impact on other companies in section 6. Will it have bearing? I have no clue. I’m certainly not implying that we may see the same percent. But who knows.
rather than imply, I’ll offer a direct opinion- I think new rates will be set by what various companies’ management teams think they can get away with to attract the numbers they need to execute their biz plan. In conjunction with the rest of the compensation package. I’d like to think that one company out of the many in our industry might decide to try a bold plan and compensate their pilots better than anyone else so that they can hire their pick of the fewer and fewer available candidates. But it may not ever work that way.
