Actually, they are taking away from the senior pilots, and every other RAH pilot.

I'll repeat the last 5 posts in a simple fashion:

• Company needs to entice new pilots, and company is negotiating with pilot union.
• Company has two choices: 1) Offer bonus to get new pilots (illegal) or 2) negotiate better contract with union (legal).
• If the company chooses 1, they are in no rush to accomplish 2. All pilots lose.

Does that help explain it?
