9E tried it in 07 the union broke it it quick. They also tried to up first year pay and the union broke that too.
Good on them.
Eagle as an ALPA carrier should fight this.
I wonder why republic has to offer a bonus... I mean their planes have 76 seats and the engines are under the wings? Mainline carriers like republic and compass should have people falling at their feet.

No thanks.

They complain about first year pay being to low and when the company offers a bonus to new hires they scream foul, thats f'ed up!

The reason unions get mad at sign on bonuses is because it takes negotiating capital away. The union wants new hires to get paid more, but they want it in the contract so the company can not take it away on a whim. That is why unions try to squash these kind of things.
That being said any line pilot that gets mad at a new hire for taking this money is a tool.
