don’t forget the contract provision at Hawaiian (and most other airlines I can think of) that states if you’re within two years of retiring you can’t switch equipment BUT you’ll get paid at the higher rate.
keeping that in mind, it’s very obvious as to why strong WB rates will still help the senior alaska folks (even behind fences if your NC guys have any foresight).
If I was a senior alaska 737 CA, I’d be pretty grateful to Hawaiian that I got to top off my career flying to MCI and GEG for $500/hr.
