First of all I wouldn't get excited about anything happening. We've been led on by the potential for retention bonuses for awhile now.

However if I was to guess what Pedro's plan was. I would say it's probably something similar to paying all pilots above step 4 at the captain pay rate. This would get voted in because it would pay protect captains in the event of possible displacements. And it would limit the pool of people eligible from envoy to longevities of 5-10 years. They don't want to pay the lifers who aren't going anywhere regardless, they don't want to pay those with imminent flow, they think this would be enough of a carrot to keep the junior FOs around at least it's a guarantee of captain wages at year 5. As the airline shrinks and upgrades get to 4 years the program ends because no one is eligible for it. So this will not be a recruitment program it will possibly be strictly a retention program.

Just my opinion but that is the only thing that actually makes sense.
