Envoy/AAG/ALPA pay negotiations
Rumor has it ALPA and envoy/AAG management are in the process of trying to negotiate retention bonuses in hopes of stopping the massive amount of blood loss at envoy due to attrition. Hearing that they will be in the ball park of $20,000 with different stipulations for FOs and CAs with some time specific intervals based on longevity, seniority, flow, upgrade etc,.
ALPA has expressed interest in a 5 year buyout option for CAs maxed out at 18 years at different ages decreasing the yearly buyouts as the target ages. Basically, the older you are the less will be offered due to your limited time left on the seniority list. The company has of course countered with significantly less, somewhere in the two year range.
