Management has made it known that they would like to raise 1st year pay. The union won’t allow it unless they agree to raise the pay for all pilots. That’s where we are at, so yes your original question has been brought up and it has been beat to death here in the past. As far as bonuses are concerned it’s unknown, the NC claiming it’s not allowed, but whether that can be enforced prior to ground school, I don’t know? I would think if they could, they would have by now.
