And I don’t see paying a decent wage to new hires stopping B6 attrition much. You guys are losing FOs to the legacies too I hear when I JS with you. Junior CAs not so much. Why do you think you can pay your FOs a decent wage but it would somehow devastate NK? Same for Alaska and WN?
Your logic fails the basic test.
You are putting lots of BS words in my mouth.
I have NO desire to screw new hires or keep their pay low beyond the next LOA/CBA, but that next LOA/CBA needs to raise ALL NK/JB pilots to or above market rates.
Also never said it would harm NK to raise 1st year rates. You are making crap up because your argument is failing.
You say raising 1st year pay will give the leverage to the pilots, yet your management wants to raise 1st year pay and only 1st year pay. Do they somehow not know that doing so will give the leverage to the pilots? Or is EVERYONE else right and raising only 1st year pay will take the pressure off management to raise all years rates???
Let's see, on one side is you and your management, and on the other side is everyone else and your union...
Not hard.
