No food stamps, but there were months it would've taken a load off to have them.

It doesn't change the fact that the pay was disgraceful then and it's still disgraceful. Management is having to apply these high dollar "bonus" bandaids because nobody wants to be a pilot for ***t wages anymore.
Management may or may not realize that their pilots are a vanishing asset. I would lean toward no as they are still trying to low ball their way out of this crisis with "bonuses" that they think they can retract down the road. I think it's really, really close to blowing up in their face. RAH is already cancelling a percentage of their daily flights. I don't know how many other carriers are, but it won't be long before you start hearing talk about cancellations everywhere spreading like wildfire.
Envoy management is exceptionally stupid as they actually have a bit of overage in terms of assets (pilots) now that they spent the last 3 years trying to run off.

I also agree that 40k is a terrible haul - it should be far more, and we all know it.

2 1/2.
Other half was out of work for a while, and the little one was happy with just a boob for a long time.
