I think the quote was something to the effect that 23.M.7 farming is only beneficial to pilots. "False." -D. Schrute.

It is beneficial to pilots. Sure, you got some guys who whine about all the inverse assignments. Then seniority is restored with quick slips and they whine about that too. Meanwhile we've added $20million per month to our value. If you want to miss the forest for the trees, that's your prerogative.

Is 20M a month really that much? What is the pilot payroll in a month? A 5% extra cost while significant is probably not as detrimental as all the unnecessary cancellations.

Exactly, which is why it's worth a 10% raise in rates across the board on it's own when combined with a better coverage solution the company wants. These are numbers for arguments sake and in no way meant to be a target or public negotiation, just my napkin math guess.

Not gonna negotiate in public either but to say 10% would be WAY too low for me and everyone else I've talked to. 🗑️

Where did this $20m come from? in December it was rumored to be $200m. Now it's suddenly 1/10th of that, yet there are more m7s on the reports? One, or both of those numbers, is clearly wrong. Inflated the $200m to make it seem shockingly high, then deflated the $20m to make it seem like it isn't that valuable to get ALPA to settle for less is my guess.

It was confirmed a long time ago the $200m rumor wasn't even close.

However, ALPA reps have told that, prior to the 23m7 debacle which kicked off in full last November, the company was already spending $100 million/month over their initially budgeted costs for our contract.
