Give large sums to attract new pilots, but don't want to pay pilots on property a slightly BELOW industry average wage?
Not saying you're wrong, but the idea that the company is doing ANYTHING to look less-worse in front of the NMB is humorous. Seems to me the company has been laying back, with their feet kicked up, laughing pretty good at the NMB.
