What I can tell you is A320 jet commands in less than 24mths and forecast to continue for for quite a while to come.
I can only emphasize what I posted previously:-
If the EBA sells out new hires, then the following will occur:

Potential new hires will seek employment elsewhere.
F/O's can't be released for command training due to F/O shortage.
Fleet expansion grinds to a halt.

Any current F/O's would be mad to vote for that deal.
Genex, one day you,ll wake up to the fact that LOYALTY to managers like Alan Joyce is a one way street. He expects it from his staff but gives nothing in return. If all LCC's are in the same position re the pilot shortage then they can pay their pilots more without destroying their competitive position. A significant increase in salary would increase ticket prices only slightly and would probably not be noticed by Joe Public.
