AC doesn't want to pay Jazz more than what has agreed to under the current CPA. Jazz doesn't want to reduce the profit from the CPA, therefore not going to pay Jazz pilots more. AC up gauges and Jazz shrink its fleet as per current CPA. Jazz trains more college kids and pays them peanuts then they go to AC. That's cheap labour for 8 years. AC hires more OTS pilots to fly the new planes which weaken the competitors. Jazz pilots can grieve the CBA as the employer has violated the 60% rule. Jazz loses the grievance but the financial impact on the company is really small. There's really no financial impact to AC and Jazz unless a pilot flows after the flat pay is over.
If Jazz loses more E1 pilots to the competitors, no problem. Replace the E1 flights with mainline 737 or Jazz Q4. Cancel a few flights here and there and optimize the load.
Jazz and AC win. No need to negotiate or raise the salary.

The thing about the E1 at jazz is that anyone who bids onto the E1 and gets a PPC will have an easy way into porter. Fresh type rating with same type to the E2. Jazz gonna bleed E1 pilots for years to come.
