It doesn't matter if you drop, take FMLA or fly the absolute minimum possible you still got the $23K. I don't know why people are looking forward to a possible pay cut.
I agree with this 100%, the bonus is also paid out of free cash, making it a non issue for Delta to pay it. By converting it to hourly, it now comes out of the bottom line, meaning we won't possibly see a penny more till section 6. The greed of people who have to squeeze every dime out of the system is once again the loudest voice in the room.
