We often accuse the executives of making short sighted decisions for quarterly numbers and refuse to consider they are looking several moves ahead. It is possible they have intentionally created an environment where they can claim they need scope relief on JVs in order to keep the airline from collapsing. Be ready, that argument is coming sooner than you think.

I'll take a stab at this and say 1,200 more pilots. The company was willfully negligent when they went against Flight Ops recommendations and delayed hiring for a year. Many claim this was done to hit an earnings target they didn't want weighted down by the costs associated with hiring and training.

So we get a cookie, they get a cookie, and the company gets a KA/AM JV domination and more large RJ's. Win win right?

It wouldn't shock me at all. In fact, it could help the company out of two jams at once. The (some not all) Bolshevik noncons, who for some reason think they should automatically get for free what pilots negotiate and pay for, could also get the increase that we get in exchange for selling some of our jobs/scope. To be fair, I guess we'd be de facto selling their scope too though.

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.
