If you can afford 5 billion in stock buy back, you can afford to pay your pilots.
It's already started and it's just the beginning. This is going to be uncharted territory for the company in this highly competitive pilot market whenever hiring resumes, as it is now with folks leaving. We may not be hiring right now, but our retirements are still going to happen, and once we sign a deal we all know there's going to be a large exit from the 60+ and 25YOS crowd. The pool that's going to be joining majors the next couple years is watching, and they're watching closely. People notice when the prettiest girl in class last week isn't looking so hot the next. Austin is a perfect example of why we need the strongest FO's in the industry. Hopefully the company will realize that sooner rather than later for all of our sakes.
