I you look solely at 1st year pay with possible retention bonus then it's a short sighted view. Upgrading here will mean you surpass the pay any new FO gets while at 9E. Remember they're not even close to upgrade times like we have here.

But you're right, Compass is way behind on offering incentives to come here. The hotel thing for new hires is just the beginning and I assume more will be offered as the hiring dept struggles to get enough guys in class. Some sort of bonus to new hires will probably be the next step.
