To get industry standard, the union has to convince indigo (Barry) that an industry standard contract, which requires retooling the entire airline, will be more profitable than the sale / leaseback scheme. I think that is beyond the scope of what a union is responsible for.
It’s either that or find an entity that would be willing to buy Frontier and run it as an airline.
market rate adjustment.
it’s already proposed by the union and any contract without it is a no. JetBlue has it, Alaska has it. We will have it.
it pulls use up to market rate and then we negotiate for QOL items and additional pay if it can be managed each cycle after implementation. Snap up pay some call it.
