We are already in the middle ground. We granted massive productivity concessions to the company from 99 through 2005. We have clawed back a percentage of that but nothing near where we once were. To put it into perspective the work rules back then produced a average block hour total per pilot around 600 hours per year. I believe that number is currently around 800 hours per year. We have increased productivity on the order of 25%. The 800 hour number is from around 2016 so may be slightly lower with this contract. Still the job loss has been massive.
Our current productivity puts us inline with AMR and UAL but well below SWA. We really don’t want to become SWA. If you’re in the bottom 2000 on the seniority list you might wind up on the street.

I kind of like what we have now. I surely don't want to fly more, but going back to hard caps is not necessarily as cut and dried a job creator as some might think.
