I just wonder how common of a practice it is in the rest of the business world.
Probably along the same lines of thinking as " hey lets take advantage of our hew hires by paying them less then a liveable wage. Sure we may loss a few to military leave but those with a false sense of obligation will stay and we can pocket that money ourselves!"
The airline makes NO commitment to you beyond your paycheck. Heck, I know of a company who denied the signing bonus to widows whose husbands died before contract was signed.
