Offer an opportunity for CQFO's to join up. Suddenly you've sweatened the pot for anyone who wanted to get on as a CQFO at Trans States, but missed the big open window, and is still looking at years to upgrade. Bring em in, and then use them as FO's. Once you have enough on property, you're good to go and life continues as normal.
The company is then forced to pay the blended rate for a few pilots on property, as opposed to adjusting pay for the long term contractually and paying a higher rate for EVERYONE when you only wanted to attract a few pilots anyway.
