Hopefully we don't fall for it anymore.
FWIW I don't mind the SSP and a pathway to mainline, even an aggressive one. Maybe this is the market/timing to build on something like that not only without lowering the bar at DCI but continuing to raise it. Hopefully the compensation required to attract and retain pilots will become permanent parts of your CBA rather than a band aid "bonus" program.
They can only keep kicking the can down the road for so much longer. The union said they have some numbers in mind to basically make the bonus a pay rate but I haven't heard any exact numbers. Maybe the big D will consider a flow in the future idk. A lot of people say they weren't happy with some of the guys they had flow from Compass or the program all together.
