I get the strategy and I am happy for the FOs, they deserve it, BUT there is a big what about the other guys here looming here.
The Captains don't need it. There is no point in trying to retain them. If you want, you can go back to the right seat and take the bonus. Nothing is stopping you.
AAG would NEVER pay a retention bonus to the Captains just so the FOs could get it too. Don't be stupid.
