It's definitely in the right direction. However, a $1000.00 'incentive' seems paltry at best...a bit insulting.

Also, from the other site:

"Now, my question would be this: In light of the agreement to bid a lower amount of hours, isn't this a pay cut and a play into their hands? Not to be a downer, but having worked there, I know that the schedules will now be built (assuming proper staffing levels are achieved) so as to fly in the 80ish hour range. What guarantees did you get to help offset the extra 10+ hours everyone is flying now? Isn't the company winning here? I'm afraid that once they get some more pilots in there, there will never be a need to build anyone's schedule to anything beyond the min. In effect, a 10 hour shave. Of course all of the furloughees will be back, so there won't be any need for high time flying and that doesn't effect staffing anyway, so there you go! Oops, did I just say that out loud? Just wondering..."
