How many times has FJ exceeded NJ’s compensation first?

That answers the question. In the past that answer was never. That may have changed, but if the answer is that FJ increased their compensation to match or barely exceed NJ’s then it is indeed FJ who is matching NJ’s pay, and NJ’s who is leading the way. Both are cognizant of pilot attrition.

The great gains without the union sets aside the fact that the FJ group mind bogglingly voted out their union while their contract award was being arbitrated. I.e., they didn’t wait a few weeks to see what the award was compared to the company offer.
