I may have been too wordy. The new guys will leave or not even show up without more offerings. Now that the company has expended the last of their offerings, they have to negotiate for gains and the union will make sure every pilot gets a share. Embrace newguys demanding nature.

Because with the $23g they are still shy of their earnings by another 10-15 grand. Is there some secret payment the senior guys get I'm unaware of?
