Well I hope you're right about the JCBA because I am concerned. And I am sorry if I was off base about Avelo, I thought they topped out right around 300k anymore just a few bucks give or take below y'all. Sorry if I was mistaken, tbh I don't know much about Avelo.
I get that and I understand where you’re coming from. The union did exactly what they were asked to do by the pilot group. Unfortunately, the survey the union went off of was “old” since the industry was (and still is) changing so fast. What they should’ve done is brought up higher rates as soon as DL and Alaska had a TA. They did not so we matched legacy carrier pay rates from nearly a decade ago. All things considered, I think it worked out in the end.
I believe the JCBA would be different despite the enormous debt JB is committing too because the pay rates have already been secured by the your union. Since snap ups and PS has been agreed too, I believe the biggest thing facing our collective pilot group would be work rules/reserve rules.
