Only the 145 drivers at the moment.

It kind of sounds like you are combining two different programs.

A couple of weeks ago the company put out an Early Out offer. They said “check you emails for details”, but they only sent emails to people who were eligible (ballpark seniority 190 and up). This offer was outside of the CBA or any union involvement.

A day or two ago they also offered a 5 year Leave of Absence to offset the likely furloughs coming OCT 1. This is the one governed by the LOA.

How can any compensation be outside of the CBA?

If number 2 is younger than number 1 he can be offered a better deal because he has more years left?

None of the bonuses they (used to) pay new hires were in the CBA.

Since they are retiring as part of the deal (I assume), it wouldn’t be hard to sidestep the CBA.

Yea but they willfully ignored that to grow and flow.
Teamsters at Gojets litigated and settled and 9E put it in their CBA with their new rates.

Also it didn't get muddy because newhires don't pay dues. Are the upper 190 gonna sign a side deal with no dues/ with dues, or hold Envoy accountable via an Email agreement if need be?

Whoever told you it is legal. They just decided to not pick that battle.
Newhire bonuses have been added to other CBA's also since the Gojet settlement, maybe AWAC, or TSA I can't remember. The company knows there is exposure and just lives with it.

One of those double standards, wouldn't be able to cash the first check if they tried it at mainline.

Its textbook unauthorized "self help" by the company.

^^^ This.

Plenty of RTP guys would go back to helo’s on a lot more money and wait it out.

There are not that many rotor jobs out there, believe me, I have looked lol. I think that with now four regionals closed or closing and all the main line furloughs, any amount of open flying jobs are going to be, or already are, taken. I think this deal will only work well for those that already have a side gig they can live off of, or could live off of should they have the time to do it full time, people with another professional skill set or those that have a spouse who can carry they weight for a few years.

Either way, I am glad that the company is offering this, even though it is in the contract, as even one person taking it is one less furlough. I just wish they opened it up to other fleets and perhaps a shorter period of time as I would have really considered taking it.
