Nonsense. Nothing low cost about us. It is part of a mind game.

Delta, United and AA are not Legacy carriers or HCC
.They are failed models. Neeleman and Barger said so and Im believe them.

True at United. Cabin cleaning is beneath the dignity of a professional airline pilot. Would a Lawyer sweep the floor at the big firm? A doctor clean the windows at the hospital? It’s a matter of professional respect. The company wants to normalize this behavior so all employees are seen as the same, and therefore not worthy of the pay and benefits you seek. Believe it, or don’t. I don’t care, but it’s how the corporate/HR mind set tried to keep the “widgets” in line.

The term "low cost carrier" is a made up term, as is which companies end up in that group. All airlines try to be as low cost as possible, including the "legacies". It is utter nonsense that we are an LCC, therefore our pay should be less. It is a made up term, made up category. We are a national airline, just like DAL, AA, UAL, and SWA.

e.g. car vs light truck (buzzwords: SUV, crossover)
The reason that I ask is because unless it's a legal classification, I would challenge their fictional nomenclature if it's used to negotiate pay or work rules.
BJ loves to make up words for stuff:
- Flight vs. inflight, pilots vs. FAs
- Mint vs 1st class
I don't want them ever saying they don't have first class and thus don't compare to Delta, AA, United.

I was being sarcastic. LCC implies that the non-LCC guys dont care about cost or something.
The term "low cost carrier" is a made up term, as is which companies end up in that group. All airlines try to be as low cost as possible, including the "legacies". It is utter nonsense that we are an LCC, therefore our pay should be less. It is a made up term, made up category. We are a national airline, just like DAL, AA, UAL, and SWA.

As far as I know, the only real classification for BJ is Part 121 air carrier, Flag carrier. Aren't AA, UA, DL also the same?
The whole "peer" airline thing is complete bunk to me. It's just a way to lower our pay and benefits.

Doesn't the PEA reference and authorize other documents (FOM, Bluebook, FSM)?
