If anything, you will see a meager to modest signing bonus, which we already saw a few years ago when Mesa and CHQ were offering a few thousand to typed rated RJ pilots to jump ship after they passed the checkride somewhere else.
Perhaps they would offer free sim time to boost hours like Eagle was doing.
If you guys want to be paid more.. I suggest you have a conversation with your union rep.
It's very simple, you raise the salary if no one shows up with 1500 mins. Yea it probably won't be drastic qol improvements because of the cbas and the backlog of qualified pilots out of a job but it's the right step.
