It seems to me that they are going to have a nice bump in pilots for 2 years, but then have a mass exodus once everyone's pay drops by 50% after becoming accustomed to it. Even if they extend, those people are going to jump as soon as it drops. They should have made this a permanent pay scale to those than join during the period, and then drop the new hire scale after that if they don't want to keep paying out those rates. That would have a better result. That, or give at least close to ULCC pay.
