Because how else would they recruit? Upgrades aren’t at the 10 year mark right now. Will they be? Yea probably. Lower than that? Maybe someday. The IBI and upgrades have no link. If there were ANY connection to upgrades and the IBI it would actually be detrimental to upgrades as this is going to create a need for less pilots. That’s less captains and first officers. Also, senior captains that were thinking of retiring will don the adult diapers and fly until they die because of the pay increase.
Not only does the IBI not stop attrition, it actually negatively affects upgrades and hiring.
