Butt head, new hires knew coming in what they were getting. The rest got nothing after all other employee benefit cost went up. If you were on property then don't swqauk, you made out.
F/o's got 20k, plus 5k as f/o plus another 7 5k upgrading, as a new hire they got 15k.

You afraid of inequality, talk to a mainline pilot. Inequality exists everywhere especially this business. The 4/12 you spout is for new hires and captains. But they have carve outs that they kept longevity pay even with 4/12.

So I really don't see your point or point you are trying to make other than you support management.
