Assuredly, pay numbers have been taken into account. They have numbers on a high and low end. It's up to the company to negotiate us down to the low end, and us to negotiate to the high end. That's it.
Im not saying we shouldn't discuss our concerns, that's the point of the forum, but we have no idea what the numbers are. JB is attempting to create economies of scale that will help them make further profits. Same as why Frontier is trying to merge with us. The elementary discussions we are capable of making to those effects are just that, basic. We don't have the numbers in front of us to create any educated arguments for or against what JB is or isn't able to pay.
Not coming at you btw, just commenting off your point

No offense taken, perfectly reasonable take, and I agree with you for the most part.
