The CEO even said on the call announcing the raises that they are targeting the people in the first three years seniority because that's where the bulk of the departures come from.
I wish many of our pilots would realize that once we stop throwing away millions of dollars in training costs for future airline recruits who leave within the first two years, that money will be redirected to more pay raises and bonuses. It takes a little time for this adjustment.
