The metal would move like you've never seen it before.

Comparing apples or oranges which was my point. Just merely illustrating that earnings and profits are much lower at NJA for a host of reasons.

Heck look at NJA profits compared to even the crappiest airlines. Quarterly profits at Frontier are probably higher than annual profits at NJA. The money will never be there to compensate the same as an airline.

Also, let’s not forget that 3 out of 4 pilots approved the current JCBA. The pilot group chose keeping no medical premiums over potentially way more financially beneficial things, including going after an airline standard 401k. Save 6-10k a year on medical premiums, but lose out on 20-40k a year in direct contribution 401k without putting a dime in.
