Chase the quick upgrade, go to endeavor. Or stay in unity at PSA.
You didn't lose anything with the union turning down a bonus system that rewards only a portion of the pilot group. I could go into details about how bad it was 10 years ago. Our union have dramatically improved the QOL at PSA. I don't support them 100%. But in this particular case, I do. Your being extremely selfish not believing that all pilots deserve a bonus.
I'm sorry you feel I'm entitled for thinking our poorest pilots deserve more. You're sorry CAs make more than FOs? With this bonus FOs still wouldn't make as much as CAs but thanks to this vote new hires do make more than first and second years FOs. When you started did you have SAP or flow? Were you entitled for taking those when pilots before you didn't have them? To me you're being selfish because you are denying struggling pilots because you want more that you may never get. Let me ask you a question. Are you planning on flowing? Would you leave if a better airline offered you a job? Would that $20K be enough for you to not flow or go to another legacy? My guess is no. I'm not against all pilots getting a raise but I just don't see our CAs getting offered anything because $20K is not going to change any of their situations. The guys that share staying until retirement will stay money or not. The guys flowing will flow $20K or not. The guys with offers from dealta southwest or united will go bonus or not. Why would the company offer you any thing when it will not change the loss or gain of CAs at all? Stop looking at this as who deserves what and instead look at it as who will realistically benefit from this. The answer is FOs that are junior or new hires. So I say to you stop being selfish and be happy a new generation may not have to suffer as others did.
