Other at least one other AA WO pays out 300% on a regular basis to keep its flights staffed... paying 300% of a couple of pilots per flight over the holidays isn't going to put much of a dent in AAs bottom line.
When AA and the WOs are truely worried about having enough pilots to staff their flights they'll throw more money at the problem and increase pay and bonuses again like they did last time they fell far behind what other regionals were offering folks.
