The 30,000 foot view is constantly shifting as management deals with day to day operations. Thus you will at times see a reversal on something that was deemed appropriate months ago.
What you are seeing now is a continuation of that strategy. The bonuses that are being offered are unprecedented and just another solid reason why a new hire should choose Envoy. At times, attrition has been higher than management would like so this program should keep that in check. Yes, I understand that great opportunities arise from time to time, but it's mind blowing to see a super qualified Envoy pilot leave for a LCC when an AA job is just a few short years away.
"Unprecedented"? You mean industry-lagging. Endeavor has had bigger bonuses for ALL the pilots for some time now. Don't make it seem like AA and Envoy did this as an "atta-boy" to the pilots. This was to stop the bleeding for. That's all. Don't get me wrong though, bonuses are always good, but it does not show how strong Envoy is or how much "better" they are over another company. There are other serious issues that management has yet to address.
