Surely there are at least a few hundred that are within weeks if not a month or two of hitting the time?
EDIT:
assuming you get all 400, thats $18,000,000 in bonuses paid out
offer your high time FOs the $45,000 bonus, pay them 150% for each hour needed to hit 1,000 hours, force their upgrade and base change, once they are there pay them at 200-300% per hour for the next 12 months in the base they didint want and return them to normal payscale when they bid base change or hit 12 months whichever comes first
Upgrading current FOs on property as they become qualified likely won’t meet the demand for Captains that will be a side-effect of growing the fleet by 40+ aircraft. Management was recently very clear that a core strategic initiative of he company is achieving a 200+ fleet count (and it appears they are trying to do so fairly rapidly). Growth of an airline is generally positive for pilots, but clearly the rate matters.
