Wanting to hire 500 quality candidates per year in a competitive environment might incentivize them. Ups has it backwards on this imo. Usually airlines WANT to raise first year pay to attract talent and unions are pushing to pad the top end of the seniority list. I don’t know if they have found themselves in this situation before but I’d guess not. We shall see.
