Also, SFO is an elite heavy hub (to UA as well as other airlines). So I am not surprised the claim by the FAU.

However - despite those, BR FAs lack excuses. Specifically, I believe the BR FAs ultimate goal is to force BR to match UA FA compensation, which is significantly higher.

I don't see why BR will compromise, especially given the new conservative management that know nothing about the industry.
