Management should be spending that money by rewarding the pilots that are already employed at Eagle before spending it on outsiders.
If they really cared about raising the bar of first year FO pay they would negotiate higher payrates into the CBA and any bonus would reward those who stay longer as a retention bonus.
You do understand the concept of a signing bonus right? It is to attract new talent, not to appease old folks.Originally Posted by shimmydamp

Re the second paragraph- from what I've read, Eagle claims to have too many of the people who have stayed longer. They wouldn't be giving them incentive to stay there.
It would be nice if everybody got an extra $5000, but why should the (presumably) senior guys fight against something that the junior pilots desperately need?
