$25 an hour wouldn’t stop the attrition. It would be like drilling a hole in the bottom of a leaky rowboat in the hope that the water would drain out, it’d actually make things worse. It’d just be a final indication it would be better to go elsewhere.
And even 25% would only approach parity with B6. Even lineholding CAs aren’t going to stick around for two years plus waiting for a merger in this environment. Management is going to have to get real. Even suggesting less than current JB rates threatens to start a stampede since less staffing itself will destroy QOL here.
