They already offered new hires more. Potential new hires aren’t stupid. It’s pretty easy to do the math, a $26k bonus at G7 gives you about $62k the first year and then $38k the second which means $100k over 2 years, or you can go to Endeavor and make $60k 1st year and $50k second year, so after 2 years ($110k)you are $10k ahead of GoJet, and the money has been taxed at a lower rate. Then you upgrade to $90 hr, have a better contract, and a Delta interview.
Filling classes was last years problem, this years problem will be keeping pilots in the jets. GoJet has already seen what happens when they let themselves fall behind in pay, it cost them 300% all summer long. It will be interesting to see if they make the same mistake twice. Smart money says they will fail to react again.

If I had gotten a January class date I would have went, but they are backed up until April now.
If G7 wants to throw another $20 an hour at me, then the other reasons probably won’t justify the loss of seniority, until then it does.

$20 an hour, easier commute, better commuter policy, Ability to commute in during your reserve window, Delta interview.

I will take 3 weeks off between resigning and class date, then be in training over holidays so I get them off. Then I’ll be making $20k extra a year with an easier commute.
It’s still 8 months away anyway. Who knows what kind opportunities will be available by then?
The only thing we know is that G7 has historically been slow to react and the response (new bonuses) is usually quite underwhelming.
