We have to keep in mind that management is very good at and aware of managing public perceptions and obtaining maximum bang for the buck for any change like this. Why just implement it and get the momentary bump in enthusiasm and retention when they can tease it along for several months and extend the warm fuzzies. They'll tease it along with vague mentions at ground school or float the rumor among some willing instructors or whatever. They'll do it until it no longer provides any buzz, then they'll formally make an announcement that wages will go up in ... two months?... Again, why make it effective immediately when they can get a little more life out of the announcement by putting it off another 2 months?
