That problem will remain if this TA fails, so unless a recession hits that seriously reduces demand I do not think Kirby will be laughing if this TA fails. Of course, all that is one pilot's opinion and we all know how much that is worth
Kirby can make a phone call , make an amendment
raise the pay 20% Since 1/1/21 with back pay
and 5 % 1/1/23
and 5% 1/1/24
raise LCA to 50 dollars per hour override instead of 27
And keep everything as current contract
Basically an extension
and this TA will pass by 90 percent
