The company doesn’t give one tiny little single f-bomb how money is divided among pilots, they only care if the result saves them a single dollar over the alternative.
The first time the company wanted to reshuffle the deck after the bid, it cost them COVID pay protections (or in other words next to nothing).
The second time it cost them $3 million dollars, split evenly.
The third time, well a huge chunk of the pilot force is out on voluntary leave at half pay. No reserve pilot will break guarantee, the line pilots credit was already accounted and planned for even if they sit home. Nothing changes there.
So what you have is the total amount of credit from the new schedule unequally distributed to a fraction of the pilot group.
I don’t know what the new total credit for May became, but average left and right seat salary at straight time, multiply it by that amount of credit. If that’s less than 3 million, they win.
