I don't support a LOA that attracts people to this place. I do support a LOA that pays people that have suffered the most at RAH, Tier 3 FOs. If a pilot came here after the website, AOPA ads and constant banter on web forums, then I'm not inclined to give up leverage to support a pay raise for them. That said, anyone already on property should get the raise, just not new pilots.
I wouldn't worry too much about the new hires. I was looking to fly a larger aircraft so did the RAH interview. The first 30 minutes consisted of telling me how much Mesa sucks followed by another 30 minutes of how PSA is worse. One hour in, I still know nothing about what RAH is looking for then they try to buy me off with a signing bonus. Not to be out done, I tried to get info from a crew on the way out and I was called a scab for asking and was informed that the company owed the pilots 44 million and they would burn the place down if they didn't get it. If your stategy was to chase away new hires...you are the winners.
btw
PSA exagerated their future oportunity but Mesa...a total class act. If fact, the only reason I applied at Mesa and PSA was because of the behavior of the RAH employees as a whole.
Good luck boys....
