So rather than make it a more desirable place to work, they offer what equates to a $5k/yr raise on years 1/2, that doesn't apply to all pilots.

Pathetic. And people will take it.

Hopefully ALPA puts a stop to this.

Would you ask ALPA to put a stop to it if all 1st and 2nd year FOs got a raise instead? But wait then its not fair for the 3 and 4 year guys. Where is the line? Just curious.
