What if the company decides to run a massive hiring campaign and throws out hefty sign on bonuses to new hires on top of whatever raise ALPA negotiated for them? Anyone ever think about that??

Many of us saw this exact scenario played out at the regionals...brand new FOs making more than senior FOs on property and in some cases on par with junior CAs. All the while the dues paying pilots on property were fighting for a new contract that never came because new hire classes were full. Not interested in seeing that played out again in my career...no thanks.
