I agree. They will be happy the bar is raised, however unhappy that United guys are getting a pay bump next month while they are not.
It simply raises the temperature in the room of negotiations at those carriers. Pushes them closer to a deal because the perception that UAL guys got a raise (DL, SWA, and AA guys don't care why we got it) and they are still waiting for how long?
It simply is a call for those negotiators to step up and show their hand.
