But yes, a New Hire bonus doesnt need union approval, because they're giving someone a signing bonus that's not even on property technically, just a delayed pay out of it.

A union worker hired to perform work under a union contract is subject to the CBA.

So the company giving a bonus to someone who isn't an employee yet isn't illegal as far as I know. Now, if they go and give everyone in New Hire class currently the bonus as well, when they are hired and already a probationary member of ALPA, I can see that.

Good job Travis and the NC. Proud that you stood your ground. While I'm obviously disappointed that the current FOs won't be receiving any retention bonuses, i do not think that FOs should have been the only ones to receive them. The 10K (15K if you already have 1,000 121 time) bonus is already behind the curve. Most other companies offer this or better by means of better first year pay AND bonuses. This will do nothing. The company will be forced back to the table to try and figure out this mess that they dragged themselves into.

Honestly guys, I don't think 10K - 15K is going to make a big dent in our ability to attract new hires. There are a lot of attractive offers out there right now, and PSA is still not even close to the middle of the pack.
