All the bickering and bashing won't be necessary then, also, we are in contract negotiations and the pay you are questioning will end with that JCBA.
However, if one accepts the class with Alaska instead of Hawaiian, they may receive a slightly higher hourly rate first year but will not get: widebody aircraft choice, HNL domicile, HRA, PMHP, higher vacation accrual, etc.
Of course all that is subject to change post JCBA.
Choose wisely.
