You are so far off base if thats even in your universe of a baseline . Honest question..is this your first time in a section 6 contract negotiation? There is a way to go about it, and using the airline that makes less than you and the airline that makes a little more than you as any baseline, isnt the way. Just as F9 would not use NK this time around as any baseline if/when they go into section 6, absent of a JCBA.
Our MEC/NC will NOT be going in with F9 or JBlu as any baseline when it comes to a starting baseline for wages. Baseline will be UALs new rates, and probably AA and DAL new rates, thats the baseline for A320 pilots as of 2022. The company can argue why that isnt the baseline to any NMB mediator, not us.
