this is straight from a guy in new hire class and management gave a presentation too.

Also ONLY first year new hires. Once 1 year is complete you get a “signing bonus” of $45,000. And health insurance immediately!!!

almost correct. It’s 25 percent, 16% dc and limited reserve drops restored. Otherwise spot on

Retroactive to January?

That would still leave our newhires $15 an hour short of all other carriers.

$25/hr sounds way more realistic than 25%. Many people I suspect are skeptical and I understand why. Market forces are changing so fast I believe an LOA may not be be this week.. but something will happen before years end. Weather it be a jetblue snap up, or $25/hr or something else I firmly believe something has to happen and will happen.

And even 25% would only approach parity with B6. Even lineholding CAs aren’t going to stick around for two years plus waiting for a merger in this environment. Management is going to have to get real. Even suggesting less than current JB rates threatens to start a stampede since less staffing itself will destroy QOL here.
