Maybe it is temporary for 2 years. Or, my bet, the critical shortage continues. If this stems the tide, they get extended.

That's exactly what AA is trying to AVOID by doing this. Retain/recruit people now, but keep the flexibility to revert compensation back to regional norms later on, when the shortage ends (and it WILL end eventually, one way or another, make no mistake on that). Will it work? Don't know, but it will help.

I think the new generation at AA feels the opposite. The guard is changing amongst AA pilots and I think they’d be open to anything that puts the pilots in the best position.

Agreed. Regional pilots expecting their major airline brethren to look after them are looking for something that has never been. Even the regional alums at the majors look at it as “I paid MY dues to get here, Screw-em, they can pay theirs”. It isn’t just major airline management that benefits from cheap feed.
