If we are comparing what we were offered for rates vs what Alaska was offered (and accepted) after years at the table, you have to take into consideration what they did/game/took to get there. You can’t take rates as apples to apples when they lack work rules in other areas.

All costs are relevant in a CBA. Imagine how much they would pay us if we allowed them to work us minimum of 70 hours each month, no drops below. Their staffing problems would be fixed, probably need less pilots going forward.

Rates can’t be viewed in a vacuum.
