If they need new hires they will do whatever is cheapest to get them in the door and unfortunately that is bonuses. Stop thinking about what is morally right because AAG and PSA are a businesses who want to make money. They could care less about their pilots and have proven it time and time again. Don't mistake my argument with me thinking we should get paid as little as we do. My argument is that we won't get paid more because it is of no benefit to the company. You believe if we hender hiring it will get us more pay where as I believe it won't because it isn't beneficial to the company. I believe that the pilot group trying to encourage slowing the hiring will only result in stagnation but no more money for current hires just new hires. We both want better for our pilots I just believe that making QOL on junior pilots worse in hopes we get money that the company has no desire to give us is nieve. Deal with what we have now and grow the company. Once were understaffed for 150 airplanes and they are on property we have leverage. If PSA decides tomorrow to not get any more planes or park 200s as 900s come online we are more than staffed and have no leverage. Remember 2 900s can carry just as many passengers as 3 200s requiring 2 less pilots. This place can go from border lined staffed to overstaffed without losing any passenger lift by parking 200s.
