I hope that the company IS sincere in wanting 1500 more pilots! If they actually want that many pilots, they're going to make this place MUCH more attractive. And they'll have to sweeten the pot for BOTH new hires AND current employees. This crap of allowing the company to offer bonuses to new hires, only, simply cannot happen. ALPA cannot let the company compensate select unionized employees outside of the collective bargaining agreement. I realize that other pilot groups have allowed their company management to get away with that crap, but we should fight with every last breath to keep ALPA from allowing it here.
