what we will see is matching or better pay rates than DAL because that is very transparent and measurable. But the new contract will be severely lacking in QoL improvements. Roll back of the Tumi 1 debacle plus some minor gives somewhere else is all we will see.
Well I think you missed the point. UAL doesn't have trouble now, but if DL has a significantly better contract and Kirby keeps stalling, my guess is you will see empty seats. I believe WN is experiencing that right now.
