Again, you are right. Not even close to cutting it.

Now let's look at the second half of the problem. Getting people in the door is less than half the problem. The bigger problem is pilot retention.

This bonus structure offers no retention bonuses but instead a slap in the face to the current pilots by paying new hires bonuses. New hires will make more than pilots already on property.

If you think there wasn't a pilot retention problem before this, well now you just created one.
