Saying attrition is the only problem lacks foresight. People have had class dates for weeks. The real effect of regional contracts likely won’t become apparent for a couple months as class sizes and applications drop out. I’m definitely for an all around raise to the entire pilot group but imo the gap between first and second year doesn’t need to be so big. Do something to keep spirit attractive so people will still come in from regionals and address the pay gap between colleagues at other airlines. Doesn’t necessarily have to be higher but enough to make people think twice before readily jumping ship.
