Pilots have little if any control over the corporate financial performance. Granted there is limited ability for pilots to impact some of the production expenses (always for the better of course). But, labor has zero ability to affect debt load, corporate interest rates, marketing decisions, or even labor costs of other employee groups.

Working for an enlightened boss/company is certainly better than not. But pilots are still labor and will always be treated as such. Variable income in our CBA was included because of negotiations, not altruism.

Kirby’s proposed changes to performance bonuses caused a minor revolt, however, it’s naieve to think that idea is dead with the management ranks.
