The PS check didn't placate anyone. The people who pick up open time and are saving the company from their staffing issues are the same people who, guess what? Usually pick up open time and save the company from their staffing issues! Those "entrepreneurs" as someone else put it have always been around and the PS check didn't change or add to their behavior.
The majority of us weren't placated nor bought off by PS. We are more intelligent than that. I'm still ticked at the company. I'm still working under the same draconian rules today that I worked under on February 13th. I'm still getting the same minimum days off. I'm still training on days off. Do you really think the majority of pilots here are going to forget about all that and be distracted by a small check like we are cats with a new toy??? I saw my PS check in the bank, moved it to investments and then went right back to wanting a new contract NOW! PS was forgotten two minutes after I logged offline.
