For those that like working let ‘em work and reward them for doing so. for those that want to show up and minimum let ‘em and pay them as such. Don’t punish people and make their lives harder just because the company demands the most out of their pilots.
I’d like to see that too, but being that I’m in the tail end of my career and having gone through numerous contract cycles, I understand how the game is played. The measure will be total cost. It is up to the negotiating committee to determine how to spread that cost out to reach an acceptable agreement. When we get a TA, some will be pleased and some won’t. There will be significant gains, but it’s not like anyone who has been down this road before honestly expects every single section to be “industry leading”.
