CCP does need to be fixed or renegotiated, that's true.
Flow is going to have to be metered until they get this place to the right size, but until then it needs to be 10+. Beyond that, I think 1% of all active pilots sounds like a really good number.
Lastly, no amount of retention bonus is going to retain a Capt if another Legacy, or FDX, UPS, SWA, calls, if that's where they want to go. Likewise, as an industry we've been *****ing about FO pay for a very long time, but when the first offer comes along to raise FO pay the Captains ***** about not getting theirs. I realize that ****es off the lifer CAs, but in my opinion their logic is faulty if they think PSA is going to be around beyond 5 years.
