Here comes a pay deal.
They are needing to pay up for dispatchers and mechanics too. Things in the regional world could get unstable very quickly.

Lock status quo when the company really needs to attract new hires, and then hold FO pay rates hostage for the benefit of the rest of the group.
Possible risk that they might call the bluff and shrink rather than pony up.

If they think their current MO is sustainable with additional big airplane orders and additional big major hiring, they're in for a big surprise.

With all due respect, Rick, it depends on which fleet/base you are on right now. I would love a 100-hr line. In fact, I had never seen a MAX LINE VALUE: 7X.XX in my PBS reason report until I came to the 175. The highest credit I have ever been awarded is 78 hours, I believe...and I want more.
Shoot, I was finally getting used to the 100 hour lines in the CRJ!
The 175 is overstaffed, the CRJ is understaffed...don't be surprised if the CRJ folks get "Brasilia'd." Might already be happening in SEA.
