All pilots should receive the CAFgram via their CO. $30K, DP-AF to invite those qualified FLTLT and SQNLDR only, ex ROSO, to remain in Feb08-Feb09.
Whilst personally I am on the way out to a future with a LCC, I expect there will be many others like me who are discounted and a little peeved for whatever reason - including working too hard and being promoted! Hence not getting an offer.
And what about all the hardworking B and C Cat drivers who give their all to keep ops going safely? Given the massive airline recruitment happening now, anyone planning to get out for an major airline career would have to consider a year down the seniority list and likely sacrificing more than a year as a skipper - which could be double the bonus amount offered over one year. So this offer is likely to only keep the stayers anyway and peeve off many others. I think DP may have missed the boat on this one.
