They had to make such big awards big awards in order to get the seniority low enough to pick up all the DECs. They didn't hire all us DECs based on staffing needs, but rather because they were trying to get as many Captains on property as possible before the 1 Jan snapshot for flow, and thats why we are somewhat overstaffed on Captains now.
Which is another trick they pulled. Envoys flow agreement was effective on the Date of Signing, PSAs was several months in the future.
Jesus you're a DEC and you're trying to talk to me about what brings people in the door? Can't make this **** up. You came here knowing the contract and it clearly must have been better than where you came from. You got a free captain position from PSAs growth and have the nerve to ask for more?
