So it's a not a promise or potential bonus, it's just a statement that everybody gets the same bonus if it comes to that.
And there was no reason for SAPA or management to include any dollar amount in the proposal. It's misleading and done on purpose. It could stated "any retention bonus will be paid equally and to all pilots"...
