what they stated was that there would be huge cost savings in the synergy of the two companies. If they want those synergies, they will need a JCBA. If they want a JCBA IN THIS ENVIRONMENT they are going to have to up the ante in pilot pay. It’s as simple as that.
It is NOW, the environment is good NOW. Give it a year and who knows, probably won't be this good. All they need to do is drag their feet and considering it is going to be at least a year before anything significant is going to happen with this merger, including a new JCBA, I wouldn't hold my breath for that big pay raise.
