Crew salaries and benefits are still only part of the crew costs. Training, tsa requirements, parking, jepp updates, overhead, and hotel costs are all part of your cost not just your pay rate. I'm sure someone already said this but there are quality of life increases that I want that do have a cost, that our competition does not have.
Where do you geniuses come up with garbage? Do you make it up and then spout it out like facts? Crew costs are a HUGE portion of bottom line costs. Any increase to them, even 1-2% are going to further dent the bottom line. ASA/XJT is in a hurting way right now. I can't think of a worse time to be negotiating. There is no money in the pot anymore.
