No way man. This is typical of toon town. They don't crap lined up. It's a feel good email to keep people around long enough to shut the doors. I ask why did they offer towop?? Because American is sending us packing. I for one am happy with the extra time off----with pay. Look forward to a few more months of it and hopefully get out

I'm great to fly with. Favorite captain every week. I don't bring my detest of the company to work. It's complete HS to sell captains out on retention bonus. Typical like I've said before. Mark my words--we won't have 65 planes going anywhere for over 3 years. They are old and tired and timing out. That's a fact.

A lot of people who boast they are great to fly usually aren't. However moving on, the reason they aren't giving any increase in retention bonus to captains is because they know they don't have to. They know the really senior guys aren't going anywhere, why pay them more? Every other captain that has the potential to move on, will do so the exact minute they get a class date at Delta, United, Southwest, etc. An extra 10K is not going to retain any captain from leaving for a sold future at a mainline carrier and the company knows it. In the meantime those same guys waiting for a call sit tight regardless. The company isn't as dumb as many think they are.

Which is exactly why you need to fight for better language in negotiations. Of course the company is going to try to skate by as cheaply as possible.. Just remember who the idiots were who signed for the LOA that allowed the company to pay us temporarily, unevenly, and out of seniority.

First year and only year. Retention LOA doesn't mention any bonuses beyond 2017.
