Default New hire bonus

Looks like a $5,000 bonus is being offered to new hires now.

They'll have to try harder than that! But it's a step in the right direction.

There is quite a bit of new flying out of the LGA/PHL/DCA on the route map.

Why is PSA flying routes that were Air Wisconsin's until recently? It is still on CRJ200's.

I hope they don't get any new-hires. The pathetic first year pay needs to be raised significantly. Sign-on bonuses only improve the life of a new-hire for a few months, while the rest of the pilot group gets zip. The flow doesn't cut it.
Another weird tidbit at Psa, the airline doesn't offer vision insurance to the pilot group. Guess we don't need to read the station bulletins in the 200 at night anyway.

Not sure. The a few months ago whiskey was doing Clt Tys trips. Found that odd and pointless as it gets rid of originators for Tys crews

No! It's a step in the WRONG DIRECTION!

The company cannot simply decide, unilaterally, that they want to compensate SOME of their pilots outside of the collective bargaining agreement that THEY AGREED TO!

If the company wants to pay their new pilots more, they're going to have renegotiate the contract,........ which means they are going to have to pay ALL OF US MORE!

Do you think the company would stand by if the pilots adopted the posture that they will no longer come to work unless the top 50 senior pilots were no longer subject to the 12 year pay cap? Of course not. One party to a contract cannot simply decide that they are going to ignore or abrogate an existing contract, (unless the other party ALLOWS it to happen).

Allowing the company to unilaterally abrogate the contract is a step in the wrong direction.

I agree with you. However we do need to attract applicants or the music stops and that benefits no one.

I think if they increased first year FO pay to $35 /hour, and incrementally increased it by $1 /hour to $39 at the 4 year cap, they would attract plenty of applicants. And they should either increase the flow or get rid of the stupid "active CA" metric. No bonuses needed. However you and I both know that AAG isn't going to just increase pay. That will be the absolute last thing they will do. PSA, EVY, and PDT will all be offering bonuses and our NCs likely won't fight it.

PSA needs new pilots MORE than the pilots need new pilots. The proof is in the fact that they're even OFFERING a hiring bonus!

Don't let this opportunity get away from you by saying "well we need 'em too,.......so it's ok that the company is trashing the contract".

Does the bold typing help get your point across?
