I think a retention bonus of 10K paid out to all employees over 1 year is a good start. To be revisited in 6 months to see if continuing past 1 year is something the company is open to. FO pay starting at $35 /hour and a $10K sign on bonus would likely help with staffing this place. FO payscale to top out at $45 /hour year 4. $35, $40, $43, $45. Those should be the FO pay rates. I could care less about commuter hotels (although they would be nice) or paid employee parking at a home airport (although that would be nice as well). And they can keep their profit sharing for all I care. And their flow. Unless the flow is 10+ /month who even really cares? And we all know it isn't getting there anytime soon if ever. It's pretty simple, fix the pay and the pilots will come. Not in the numbers we were seeing in late 2014 and early 2015, but they will come.
