This isn’t on ALPA, your pilot group is either motivated for change or they are not.

Yeah, let’s bump first year pay to make it comfortable for guys to spend a year here before they get on with UAL or DAL. GMAFB.
People aren’t leaving because of first year pay. People are/will leave because of pay 2-12 and other reasons. Honestly clueless to think first year pay is the problem for attrition.
As said before, we have senior FOs and CAs leaving. Years past first year. You are blind if you only see your first year mantra over and over in your head. Problem is much bigger now, try and keep up; might be better to stay in the covid forums, lots of pretty charts for you to post over there.
Why don’t YOU get a clue? You whine repeatedly about the lack of solidarity in the pilot group but you have also repeatedly said you don’t give a $hit about newbie pay and it isn’t ALPAs responsibility to look after people who “ain’t even on property yet.” So the introduction for every newbie coming in under the policies you advocate is that the senior people don’t care about them. Then you expect them out on the picket line with you? No damn wonder they grab the pizzas and beer and run. You got what? Near 400 pilots on first year pay? And they don’t matter to you?
