They should look at more than just money for retention. Better commuter policies, for example. 2 free hotel rooms per month, along with 2 positive space tickets to commute per month perhaps. Tie it to years of service and make sure the best perks are given to those Captains that have been around the longest. Obviously more money could pay for that too, but regionals are going to have to get creative and stuff like that sounds real nice to a wannabe commuter. Personally, I thought I'd hang around Republic longer but I'd like to move closer to family and that's making the majors look more attractive to me. Living where you want is worth more than money to a lot of people.
