How about a 5k bonus to the LAX pilots who will have to commute cross country?

A union is supposed to look out for all pilots not one group. New hires at any airline should not get a bonus. If you think they should, how about a bonus for pilots hired in 1999. Not 1998 or 2000.

New hires at every regional airline are realizing ALPA isn't looking out for them...

How about no bonus, instead the 75% learn to vote, and quit saying no pay cut. When PBS comes on line you'll see a big pay cut and QOL kill, not because of transition conflicts, but because of what PBS likes to do.

TIC I hope. I'm sure it's a great deal to either commute or get that sweet relocation deal. Who wouldn't want to uproot someone's family and move after having a LAX base for so long.

How about we use the language that allows us to not get PBS and make up for it somewhere else and we go to a 12 year pay scale!!!!!!

What would you think if you were in my position. Sorry youve had to deal with so many new hire classes but that's life. It isn't fair but your not getting a break from me.
Someone an idiot because they don't agree with you? Really? Who's the idiot?

Well if you believe a new hire is entitled to more than a 5 yr sr Fo then yes you are. Sorry you don't see that. No offense buddy!

Dude you are not even on AE property yet. The only reason you are supportive of this is because it will benefit you. Wait until you have a few years of regional abuse under your belt.
