1. Of course it's better to get a 1,000 bonus than not.
2. Certainly announced after most other companies made this decision, looks like they felt pressured to do something they didn't want to do.
3. Timing is also curious since we are in a major IROP and they need help.
4. Funny how they add in the email that they came up with this idea way back when tax reform was being discussed (yeah right!).
5. Where's our peer standard CBA?

I suspect they heard grumbling like, “Wow $50? And SWA/AA freely gives its employees $1k because it’s the RIGHT thing to do and cheapBlue gives a whole $50? Yay us”...

So:
-"If only you guys did not push for a election we COULD of gave you this bonus, but now our hands are tied"
to
-"we formed a team long ago and planned to give you guys 1k all along!"

I’ll take it, since I’m probably the only person who doesn’t do RSA or VSA. As long as every A-hole, greedy pilot keeps helping out the company during IROP’s and on a regular basis, they have no reason to give us a contract! Keep picking up trip’s Blue juicers, and we’ll always be at this lousy pay scale! (Drop the Mic)
