A training contract that rarely/if ever gets enforced, and is slashed in half with 45 days notice, and is prorated, ending up not really being worth it to pursue. And no 50 seaters. And cheap cost of living domiciles (less IAD). Quick upgradez and shiny jetz. Throw in a few grand up front (which is about a 15% pay raise from current first year pay) and it could be enough to put people who were on the fence in class. Clearly something is working.
