Guys talk a big game with the bone-us, but I think it is more of a kitchen table player than a ready room talk player as far as the calculus goes. That money, however paltry it is for the pain that you endure, can make a difference.
$75k for non-tacair is them basically saying "thanks for your time, but we will get enough of you to stay without paying you anything." After taxes and dividing it up into installments, it may as well be nothing.
