I'm not sure the non-cons "traded" anything. Yes they got a pay raise, and their PS % was lowered. But that was done by the company. The non-cons had no say in it. It sounds like you meant to imply that they were willing participants in the trade.

Said TIC. I know they had no say but most I encounterd at the time were pretty giddy about the big raise. We tried to tell them the company paid for much of it with PS. Most refused to believe it. I guess they are seeing it now.

Are they seeing it already? I assumed most wouldn't register much until Valentine's Day.

The hiring freeze you mention was to show a first quarter profit. They needed so many consecutive quarters in order to get to investment grade and lower interest rates. The planned pilot hiring at that point was only 120 to 150 pilots that spring for the summer schedule. I have no idea how important a profit was overall but the planned hiring was small that year.

Are we suppose to call CS or PSP during Mecca business hours to find out that there are no C+ seats to upgrade to on a transcon deadhead?
