The senior guys at 9E may be all about the retirement but the bottom half maybe wanting more money to take home and feed the family. Since this is the first regional contract to come up in quite some time, I'm curious what the demographics are in the group.
Scope with a side of scope for one. Iron-clad indeed. With Colgan's progression nipping at our heels, it was a big issue for some time. I'd expect this won't be one of the issues if there is anything that will stop this TA. We don't expect compensation to 'lead', but rather be on par (especially when in comes to 200 FOs, who were subpar by a lot). The rest will come out shortly.
