If it's biannual, might be worth sticking around for.

Otherwise, better compare $30K+$50k+70K with how much you'll earn if you leave for DAL or FDX two years before flow... and 777 FO is going to new-hires at UAL.

Although it's a certainly a nice deal if you have a GED or several DUIs.
You will be hard pressed to stop people from going to another legacy, I’d expect it’s mostly to dissuade people from bailing to LCCs. If you’re a year or two out from flow, it helps bridge the gap of turning down an LCC.

I hear the big sucking sound. Majors are going to “Hoover” up any they can get their hands on.

Whats the play if you have 20-25 years left in the game, and your options are AA year 1 FO in 5 years, or year 5 CA at Amazon/LCC in 5 years?

Been at your current regional for 3 years, have little QOL seniority.

reason this is happening? MASSIVE attrition and it’s gonna pick up speed. Anyone at a regional now is in for a good ride and a lot of opportunities. Not the time to tie one hand behind your back if you don’t have to

Golden handcuffs for some, will be interesting to see terms. Do upgrades have to make the decision right away or do they have time?

Funny how quick things change and how fast we forget. I bet this exact comment could probably be found in a 2019 forum about the good times. Only to be followed by horrific times. And then back to good times now.

Interestingly though, Covid hasn’t exactly ended and a recession could very well be waiting in the wings.
