^^^^This. I think it started with the 3 Dec class. And an email to a recruiter failed to produce any details, they seemed not to know about it either. Thought I DID find it disturbing to be told, "You will find out about it during Indoc". I mean, by then it's too late, if one is trying to compare companies. But ok.

I don't think it's wise to go with any airline paying new hires a bonus. It's temporary, and a slap in the face to those who came before and never got such. I think the standard should be a percentage raise across the board, with perhaps a bump for first year FO pay to entice new hires. At least then everyone benefits, and it doesn't just end when the bonus expires. In fact, I told two different potential employers that I would either not accept their bonus, or just take it and put it in savings for the interest, then give it back with a 2-week notice to vacate (since most come with a serious time commitment). But that's just me.
Now, I think a performance or safety bonus for ALL employees is a great thing.

Performance bonus, HA! Even with the poor performance levels in past months for AA out of Dfw , the d0 is consistently 10-20% better than The UA side. Meanwhile, they get $100 every month because the bar is set so low. I don't think fair and equitable is in their playbook.

Sidebar: anyone else really fed up with that ghetto chick ramp controller in DFW? For those who know who I am talking about. I probably need to write a strongly worded letter about her.

The one that's always like "who was that"? Lol yea yesterday we called her for pushback she told us to hold. So we wait at least 10 minuets finally I call her back and say what exactly are we waiting on? She told me she forgot and that we were cleared to push. Someone needs to bring her some pen and paper if she can't remember one gate she told to hold on a push. Who would I even e mail about this? I'm really tired of her (insert curse word so drunk mod won't delete).

Yup, she's new. Hopefully she'll get better. The older lady is pretty funny and will shoot back any attitude pilots give her. The guy with a bit of a lisp is very nice and has worked at DFW for years and years, I'm told.
