Hiring Bonus
Why are some unions allowing their companies to offer hiring bonuses?
PDT tried it, and we shut it down. I know PSA would do the same. Anyone here a rep at Eagle or Republic? By allowing hiring bonuses, you are damaging pilots already on the property. If the company wants to attract and keep pilots, they need to raise all pay rates.

They may attract more applicants by offering a bonus and may keep them by getting new hires to sign a contract.
Once the established F.O's start calling B.S. and leaving in droves, they will have to offer some kind of retention bonus too.
Its starting to happen now, especially since the likes of Virgin are accepting guys with no 121 PIC time. Who cares how long the upgrade is at a regional if you don't even need it any more?
Its interesting to see how this will play out. The tables have sloped towards the senior regional captains for too long now, where some are earning 5 times more than their First Officer counterparts. We are about due for a shakeup.

Yes, thats the right thing to do, but they won't do it because they don't have to, yet.

This is probably what management is counting on and for most guys / gals this will work. No one wants to start over after two years unless the move is in the right direction. The contract is also much easier to enforce in court with the bonus. The court system would more then likely at least make you repay the bonus. Unlike contracts at other places with no bonus, the contract is not enforceable.

Who knows where this industry will be in 2 years. Would suck to see your buddies getting hired into the right seat of an airbus while you're locked in an E170 at $31 an hour & counting down the months.
No thanks.
