When the company takes away the NH bonus then we can say FO’s are a dime of dozen like the times of old. Until then, this company needs FOs, yet not as badly as CA’s (a self inflicted dilemma).
I wonder what would happen if these NH bonuses stop, and the pay rate increases given to CA’s on property, along with better QOL contract /language I’m sure the CA shortage issue will end. Im sure some sort of parity years of service pay would also bring CA qualified NH’s. I’m sure they would flood in. Thanks to Pay & QOL increases.
We are really missing the ball when wasting dollars trying save a few pennies (HVA). IMHO. Why so much focus by the union on flow flow flow by guys who are ready to flow within a year or better. Cant company violate any new or weak language agreement and let it go to arbitration years later and pay the cost down the road?
Money can solve any problem any corporation like AAG has IF the problem is important enough to that corporation.
