By having more attrition everyone benefits below the person leaving. A bonus to f/o's just makes it worse for you. Think about how much better it would be if 100 f/o's ahead of you quit.
Or
The company makes this a great place to work and we collectively benefit. If PSA was a great airline they wouldn't have to offer bribes in the first place.
Exactly. I know some of the FOs aren't happy and I understand that but you are no worse off than you were before.
I don't understand why you're not more angry about the insult from the company. They have basically just told you that you are worth less than half of what an endeavor pilot is worth. In addition to that, if they would stop manipulating the reserves and restore critical pay, you would probably be making more than $2,500 per quarter anyway. They basically tried to bribe you with money they took out of your pocket.
Also this move is good for your advancement. I think a lot of captains who made have been waiting for the flow (or more likely Delta or United) under the false assumption that things may eventually improve here are now strongly considering a move to spirit,jetblue, frontier or southwest.
With the exception those FOs that live in base I can't for the life of me understand why any FO with less than a year in this company is still here.
