Pay raises are already approved by AAG.

Maybe bonuses are approved for prior 121. I can’t see why management would hold out on pay raises if AAG approved it and it would help recruiting/retention. Soon, retention will be our biggest problem once again.

Two main reasons I'm guessing are we don't need NHs right now. Even if we could hire 60-70 every two weeks they wouldn't. This would create a CA FO imbalance. They NEED "high valued aviators" to fly with the NHs because we just ran out of 1000 hr 121 pilots. Once, our massive NH classes in late 16-2017 start getting to 1000 hours then we won't need the high value aviator bonuses and we can go back to hiring 60-70 a month. Also, I THINK the executives get a higher bonus if we are more profitable. Giving us more money means less bonuses for them.

Because recruiting/retention aren't hurting in the least right now. Once that happens, then they'll act. They're not gonna drop an extra dime one second before they have to. Reactive, not proactive.

If they are in negotiations, I hope they're not negotiating anything away. These raises need to be given if any of the WO want to continue running a decent operation in the future. No negotiation should be necessary and none of our unions should be expending any capital except for saying how waiting will bite mgmt in the ass down the road.

I hope ALPA has an open line of communications between the 3 carriers because it's clear what the lowest offer one carrier will accept will be what the other 2 are given as well. But there needs to be conversations between the 3 to make that happen.
