Doesn’t matter who that is at the time. They have lots of reasons. First class, international, ect… the rebuttal argument is we’re giving you an additional 50 seats to offset first class and we go international. Now whether or not this resonates with the nmb kind of depends on the composition of the nmb bod.
So your peers are DL, UA, AA, AK, SY, NK, G4, B6, WN, and XP? If every airline is your peer then no airline is your peer…
I can tell you that this answer has not resonated with any of the three mediators we’ve had during mediation. And it doesn’t seem to resonate with the NMB because we cannot even get a status meeting.
If I come off snarky it’s because I am beyond frustrated with how we keep getting boxed in by Allegiant has a “unique business model” sales job that management has sold to the mediator.
