All the company has to do is give the other employees a raise this calendar year and make it a bonus in 2017 and/or 2017, and we get nothing.
I don't follow this.
If there's a raise given within a consecutive 18 month period, a review is triggered. Having a review done in April does not preclude another review done in (say) December. As of the April review (and the resultant .55% raise), the 18 month clock got reset. If 30% or more of the non-pilot, US-based employee groups get a raise(s) within 18 months (whether that happens in December in one shot, or, say, 15% get a raise in Dec and another 15% get a raise in Feb), that will trigger a review.
What am I missing?
