Yup, devil is in the details as always.

If you’re at Envoy and sixty years old, or don’t want to leave for other non-pay related reasons, this is ok, I guess.

But it’s not going to stem the flow of pilots leaving for greener pastures the second they’re able. Maybe drum up some new entrants for a bit, but even those will leave as quickly as possible.
Yup. Cash on the barrel does make a difference, for some people and with enough cash, but most pilots are smart enough to take a longer-term view (nature of the profession). But if you're young and legacy bound it's very attractive way to get fast PIC at excellent pay rates... so good recruiting move.
