They want to offer this to the UAX side but the Eagle side can’t particpate? Fine, let’s negotiate a retention bonus for the Eagle side for example. For God’s try to negotiate something!
This is carrot to bring in new hires, it has little to do with pilots on the property.
You’d think they would care about pilot retention, the truth is the opposite. They hate pilots with seniority. They cost more money. They do not care about experience. They want filled new hire classes with fast upgrades. Keeps their costs lower, and gives an incentive for people to come through the door. They purposely don’t care about people already in, they want them to leave.
