No more sunshades?
Without them, cockpit temperatures are likely to become dangerously high, especially during summer operations.
This change will almost certainly lead to increased APU usage and higher fuel costs. Additionally, in the event of an APU MEL, many aircraft may be unable to cool adequately using only ground air, potentially resulting in delays or cancellations.
We operate in a lot of in hot weather bases like LAS, PHX, MCO, and SJU.

I do love how all of a sudden sunshades are such a big problem when theyve been in use worldwide for decades.

The business loses money on every seat mile flown currently. More miles more losses. Yes it would be more revenue but not enough to overcome the loses by operating them.
P&W pays the leases on those planes parked.
Ever notice Spirit is in no rush to get those engines turned around.

While the rates are attractive, #1 Zero chance we are anywhere near those rates when this is signed. #2. MRA had better be adjusted yearly until a new contract is signed. The way the term sheet reads, we get one last raise at year 3 then that's it. MRA/Snap up yearly at a minimum.
These rates are going to be a moot point anyway. All the legacies and WN will have new contracts by the time Barry gets forced to actually negotiate. With an unlimited supply 1500hr wonder pilots, there will be zero hiring issues and the union will never have any leverage during this these contract negotiations.

That’s correct. On DOS the rates are established. After that it’s cola. I’ll guess it’s 3% 4% 4%. Other agreements this round had a one time snap up for those that went early. I believe jb got one as well but it was a one and done. No airline is agreeing to potentially large/unkown changing labor cost contracts every year of an agreement.
