Most of those are at psa and envoy.... I'm new here, but not new to the industry. I'm glad the group fought back and was able to include the entire seniority list, not just newbies. You are right, it still is not enough for the ones who have been here for decades and dealt with 10 year upgrades, furloughs and downgrades.

Is $7500 enough to keep guys there? Seems like a waste of money. If the transition to AA was reasonable and bonus payouts kept your salary close or higher than a LCC I could see it paying off unless DAL or UAL called. I'd go there over AA in a heartbeat unless you live in Charlotte or Dallas.
But with a long flow and pay at or below LCC on year two or three, I'd be bailing for SWA, JB, even Spirit personally if you were several years away from flowing.
The only way bonus payouts would keep people there is if they created a 'golden handcuffs' situation.
