It it doesn’t look like they’ll have much of a choice! What excuses could company negotiators possibly come up with? With the JQ crews’ contributions to Years of Record group profits, (and record executive bonuses), and now paid well below comparable pilots in another company, then add in all the aforementioned productivity improvements (RNP, A321, etc). There are now perfectly valid reasons for JQ pilots to be a little bit peeved, and hopefully energized ‘industrially’.
Well done Tiger pilots. You’ve demonstrated what a bit of unity, with a dash of fortitude and courage will get you.
