If PCL_128 is out of the penalty box yet, I'd be interested in hearing if ALPA signed off on these exclusive bonuses for certain pilots on the property.
Sorry it took so long to respond. The moderator fascists kept me in the penalty box for quite a while.
To answer your question, I'm not exactly sure what discussions are going on between the PCL MEC and the company in relation to these new-hire bonuses. I left the company about a month ago, and I haven't kept up with everything going on in the MEC. When I left, these bonuses were just being mentioned. I had planned to personally file a grievance if the MEC didn't, but I can't do that now. It's up to someone else. I do agree with you that these bonuses shouldn't be allowed.
