Your concern for the FOs at someone else's airline is admirable. I'm one of those FOs and I hope the MEC tells the company to pound sand. This is an insult of an offer. If the company would fix CCP and pay us properly I wouldn't need $2,500 every three months because I'd be making more than that on the line with more days off. This is like our CCF bonus of $50 a month. I easily make more than that with a little over block here and there and the customers still get dropped off on time.
Their offer is a bandaid and will do nothing to fix our lack of hiring, high attrition, stagnation and need to defer aircraft. This is just another halfa$$ed effort to mimick what others are already doing.
