The bonus the company is offering is a joke and I don't think anyone has taken it at this point. The Co. wants to raise 1st yr pay to attract candidates, but in my opinion won't make much of a difference, and I agree with our MEC, raise pay for everyone on the seniority list and we might go for it.

Honestly, I think mgmt. knows they will have to pay up eventually, they are just dragging it out as long as possible.
I honestly don't think money will solve the problem. We're looking at 10 years upgrades. The money isn't worth it when other are upgrading fast. Especially if others have bonuses and what not too. The only thing that will save us is more flying, and I don't see that happening. So hooray for us!
