Well they have already increased the hourly wages
since I have been here without changing the contract (as it's up in 2023). So let's wait to see the agreement first as there might be extra wages for all I know. Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth.
But, this bonus has a purpose. It's to stop the bleeding of pilots (specifically Captains) from the regionals. It's now the pilot shortage (at the regionals) that is changing everything.
