If you want quality future coworkers in these days of declining pilot availability, easing the transition to the big leagues needs to be a priority for every pilot group, not just for management. Even if it costs a little negotiating capital.
This is just plain ignorant. Why would the pilots want to waste negotiation capital on making things easier for their own company to attract pilots during a shortage? The company should be spending negotiation capital on making it easier to attract pilots.
I realize that the new hires want better pay--but your logic is flawed beyond repair.
