Since these rule changes would require substantial pilot hiring costs for no increase in pilot productivity, the company will place a certain dollar value on these improvements - value that will have to come from some other section of the JCBA. This is the reason for resistance. Not because B6 pilots wouldn’t want DTZ.
Well it’s not an “improvement” for spirit pilots, it’s the status quo.
