If you make more per hour gives you more opportunity to make more. Ex: FO pay is $30/hr plus $25.5 = $55.5 = $50,000+$10000 new hire bonus= $60000. Senior 900 CA $89+25.5=$114.5/hr. I may be missing the bigger picture.
The bonus would be blended into rates at a lower rate than $25.5, it would be based on the average 83.3, meaning $23hr. 75 x 12, is 900 x $23 is $20,700, thus the $23,000 is reduced to that $20,700 for all pilots. You have to pick up more flying to make up the difference.
The proposal looks good on paper, in practice it is a disaster to most.
