Other airlines are offering $5k sign on, requiring 2 year commitment, why don't Silver offer 5k to all FOs and require 1 or 2 more years of service, or just $5/hr across the board...

Its year two here that opens your eyes...

The whole thing about the company wanting to meet with the union to discuss ways to improve things is just a delay tactic. It is for this reason that rumors always persist about any given topic. Items are always discussed, but never acted upon. This buys a few months at which time the company calls for a new topic of discussion, but again, nothing will change. If you are new to the airline business, you will recognize this as a positive step. But after a few decades of this, you begin to see nothing is really gained.
If the company truly wishes to address retention issues, they will do what all other non-aviation corporations would do. Find out what industry standard is in all aspects of employee compensation and benefits and move to match those aspects and maybe exceed them thereby creating a new industry standard.
