If the company gives a bonus or pay raise to all pilots will it keep captains from flowing of taking better offers from Delta or United? Very few people a year plus are leaving for others like Endeavor. If giving money to these people doesn't change any thing there is no motivation and a bad business move to do so. So keep thinking well get more but until pilots start leaving well only stagnate with reserve time and flow times getting longer.
This get-in-get-out mentality has done substantial damage to this industry. "Let's all take lower pay now (
that others will get stuck with later) so we can get shiny planes and upgrades now..". And if you think subpar wages are OK because you might flow in 15 years, AND you should pay pilots less because "they'll just jump to United or Delta anyway", well I just don't know what else there is to say...
Also, remember that strategic business planning goes beyond just 1 or 2 years. As a WO pilot you are not just up against PSA, you are all up against AAG. They aren't dumb..
