If you leave during years 1-3 its probably because the type of flying isn't your thing and you want out ASAP, or you're pulled away by a major the moment they call (which at this rate would probably be well under 3 years). If you stay long enough to get the $18k, you were probably planning to stay anyway, regardless of that incentive.

I gave them some feedback on a survey they sent out after our indoc dinner, and I told them exactly what, for me, would make staying at Flexjet over any major a no-brainer. And it had absolutely nothing to do with money, and everything to do with QOL. None of what I would like to see seemed like all too big of an ask.

Whether or not my response is heard, I do not know.
This is true, the $18,000 will not reduce attrition
The ones leaving are gonna leave
Getting hired, getting an ATP, Type, and jet time
They want to be airline, it doesn't matter, they want to be flying 121
$18,000 in 3 yrs is not going to keep them

Now maybe add in QOL items and the money, maybe a better chance

But at the end of the day, the 3 year wait to then still only get paid
your money that you earned in quarterly payments for the senior guys
is just absolute BS
