Tbh I would prefer to negotiate for 3 years and then be another cycle behind the industry 🤦
Yeah, I would prefer to have the snap up, and no it's not "freeloading"

Does the rest of the industry expect two merged airlines, one broke, both in an essentially failing business niche to set the new bar at DAL+30%? While already coming from behind? No. But at the very least a snap up, even if it's on a time delay, is better than nothing.
Personally I don't view F9/NK as leading the next round of pattern bargaining, but playing catch up from the last one. YMMV depending on who you talk to.

No, snap up is not freeloading. It's a safety valve, why would you not want it? It's now become the standard.

Maybe the heavy lift would be defining the peer group to include legacies. Or at least SWA.
