An example would be union-authorized raise/bonus for new-hires. Benefits the company because it helps recruiting, benefits the noobs, and benefits senior lifers (typically union leadership) because it helps keep the company stable long-term. Doesn't directly benefit most of the pilot group, and is in fact counter-productive because it gives away a negotiating item.

Another was the recent SKW pay raise. 1% across the board but very senior people got a big 401k enhancement.

Stuff like that.
