I didn't listen in on the call so i don't know with what kind of infliction J.B. answered the question. I also don't understand how you see more downgrades from what was said. It seems to me that he just answered the question, using the scenario that was given.
Regardless, if more downgrades are coming, i'd say this is even a BIGGER incentive for junior captains on the bubble to peace out.
ALPA better not take a cut, they wouldn't take your 401K money when you cash it out after you retire would they?
I hope things are set on fire if ALPA even thinks about slicing some off the top.
