Otherwise they can compare our outsourcing to DAL/AMR/UAL only, and I'll compare the pay to only those companies.
None of the ULCCs/LCCs have regional feed. So Alaska gets either get air tight scope, reclaim all the regional flying, and average LCC pay rates. Or they stop with the charade and pony up the legacy pay scales.

Precisely.

That was a glaring oversight in the contract comparison the union published. They had bar graphs for our outsourcing compared to the other airlines that outsourced, but no bar graphs to show comparison to SWA, etc.

But when you went to the pay section, by golly, there was Frontier, JetBlue, Virgin...

What part do you all not get about the union asking you not to discuss this on social media. Let's wait till the ruling please.

And since I'm guessing you don't work for AAG because you mentioned virgin as a comparison. Please do us a favor and do not discuss.

There are management trolls on here folks.

Ah, haha. Discuss what? All I'm discussing is how you calculate a comparative average. This is math at about a third grade level. If you think this info isn't readily available for any of the parties involved, I don't know what to tell you.

And I don't work for AAG because I mentioned Virgin? I mentioned Virgin because the union included them. They're the dark green line on the graphs on pages 3 and 7 of the contract comparison distributed via company ipad. But then somehow at the bottom of page 26, those pretty bar graphs fail to include anyone but UAL/DAL/AMR. Does that help?

Things are pretty quiet route wise out at AS I see, is it mostly due to the VX consolidation?

The previous growth announcement is materializing currently August-December timeframe. Not sure how many new routes are for 2018, I would imagine though that there will be growth next year.
