There is no scenario I see where the big 3 pilots “accept” lower pay than what Alaska pays. Put another way, there’s a decent chance AS pay falls short of newer big 3 pay. The question is how much, and what the pay review accomplishes in a couple years.
The fact that the conversation always returns to a comfortable, predictable, orbit around
pay should be distressing to anyone who ever plans on being a junior captain on reserve at this company.
