I think you're mad at the wrong people. If you have an issue, it seems to me like you have a management issue, not a new hire issue.

And guess why we have some of these incentives and bonuses? Because of support from senior pilot groups AND the new hires that held out from joining a regional in the first place because pay wasn't worth it.

Although this may not be the best, its a boost, it's a start. But something had to be done in order to captivate new hires through the door.

My respects to the senior folks as well, I realize the argument you're trying to make and I truly hope something changes for you in regards to your efforts.

But once again, don't blame us for getting the bump in pay we never even voted for. Don't think some of us new guys don't think about you. But please reevaluate where you want to place the blame and your gripes toward.
