That’s a huge retro check for them. Same might be said for most 2021 hires.
This nonsense needs to just get done and without a serious show for unity, public fighting battles WITH us (post picketing), and serious pressure on EB and the gang, it’s an uphill battle… but it needs to come to a peaceful conclusion in the near term. This is shifting from a distraction to a movement.
I disagree. I'd wager most of us coming from the regionals, ULCC's and even 91/135 guys and gals know the game all too well and we are more than familiar with being overworked and underpaid. New hires at the regionals during contract negotiations are more of a threat because of their ignorance of how the industry works and are severely more prone to shiny jet syndrome. The only demographic that really falls in that category are career mil with no airline experience, and even then those that say "quit whining and vote yes, your job is easy, you make 6 figures and nobody cares" are usually the exception, not the rule.
