Until then you are just a crazy man that cut down his corn to build a baseball field that is hearing voices in your head.

This is huge for new hires and first year FOs. It's alright for pilots on step two and three, but it's a huge slap in the face for senior FOs. However, if this creates more movement and helps us upgrade faster then I think might alleviate some of the sting for the slap in the face.

For the past year these incentives they have rolled out have fallen way short. This proposal although not as good as I would of wanted might just be enough to get the people we need in the door. Time will only tell.
It's all about math. Think 40 per month above you leaving every month. There's your quick upgrade. Plus, you'll be sitting at AA in a couple of years anyway.

New hires can now think 2 years to upgrade and just a bit over 5 to flow. So, the lack of bonuses won't even come into play.
