Your failure and short-sightedness are apparent and just because you do not have control over it and decide to sue the company makes the union look stupid!!! I understand CBA's and there is nothing in the CBA that says you can not offer additional compensation. Is the bonus fair to other pilots, the answer is no. Pilots have ask not only is this contract good for me but ask is it also good for the profession as a whole. For the record, I for not work for Horizon and I wish everyone there the best of luck,
Then the company decides to throw our contract out the window, in response to a problem they knew was coming years in advance. Every problem at this company has been the result of short sighted, reactive management. They have no foresight, nor do they understand the importance of being pro active. This pilot group refuses to be the shock absorber for their gross incompetence and negligence.
Read the thread and get some more background information before you make yourself look ignorant.

I found this interesting based on what I have read about the bonus being given out. From my understanding they were giving out the new hire bonuses upon day 1 of indoc correct? If I am wrong please correct me. But I talked to an individual the other day that stated he has already accepted the 10k and is using it to help finish out his CFI training. He clearly knows everything that is going on based on some info that was put out there in regards to the whole QX ordeal. He stated he could justify taking the cash to use for his training and bc QX was his #1 regardless of whats going on even though he was aware it was going against you guys in the pilot group. Thought that was interesting that he had already received the money considering all of the bonuses I thought were being handed out upon arrival of training. Like I said please clarify if I may have got some of that wrong.
