I don't want to start any rumors or pull a "Ric Wilson" and announce things too early even if they are factually correct. So I won't comment on any return flying just yet.

As for bonuses, the answer is no. First because we are having no problem retaining pilots. Since things stabilized around here and now that he flow is a serious thing people are staying.

Second because AA believes that an enhanced flow to AA in under 6 years with no interview will be enough to attract pilots.

In that they are correct. If the flow works and continues to work as we have seen it, Envoy will hire all the pilots they need and more without bonuses.

Bonuses at the Regional level are nice, but the real money is at mainline. Always has been and always will be. If a pilot can flow in under 6 years and be making over 100k that would be more valuable than any Regional bonus.
