We've been saying this for months. It doesn't matter what contract management puts in front of the group, there will always be people chasing "greener grass".
More than likely, this retention bonus was something pushed by the mediator in an effort to get both sides to show that they are "bargaining in good faith".

If you go back 6-12 months and read through this forum, you'll see the usual crowd on here saying it was impossible to "shrink to profitability" and that wall street would punish us for not growing.
Instead ALGT is up almost 50% in the last three months... management is doing exactly what they told us they would do and it is working for them. we have enough lifers here, and enough pilots coming for the type rating, to staff this place with our reduced flying. its not what anybody wants to hear, but the truth is that this place isn't gonna shut down due to attrition.
The retention bonus/accrual is gonna keep a lot of pilots here knowing that they can wait out the contract negotiations. A lot of people on here are gonna be sad that their doomsday scenarios did not play out...

Management has decided to shrink to profitability - aka, reduce the flying and focus on margins.

The've been bringing EXPATS in from a few countries as well as hiring very low time pilots and giving them ATPs from what I gather. But like some mentioned, many pilots been doing a lot of the covering. So even if we're severly short staffed, there's a pool of willing to "help" keep this place understaffed.

I can’t see any motivation for the company to want a contract.
Im glad I was able to leave but still desire to see improvement at G4.
