The Kooj’s explanation should be golden. “Them cutting the bonus is actually a strategic way to improve the flow. You don’t need the bonus anyway... your bonus is that you’re already mainline AA!” *eyeroll* lol.

Negative ghost rider. They were doing 21k for both fleet types as of early last year and no longer giving an extra 5k from the base 17k if you took/were assigned the 145. I had a friend in the 29JUL19 class who was the beneficiary of being in the last class to get the bonus with the new pay rates in effect. Anybody who started after 29JUL19 was not awarded the new hire bonus.

^^ correct. I forgot they changed it to 10k first day, 8k after IOE. I’m guessing that when we do start hiring again that the pipeline will be so full of qualified applicants that we won’t offer anything. Just a guess though!

The union can’t negotiate furlough protection in exchange for forgoing the bonus because the bonus is outside the CBA. On the other hand, individual pilots can’t negotiate that with the company either because furloughs ARE governed by the CBA. It’s a lousy situation.
