I'm probably preaching to the choir here. But the work rules that ALPA has negotiated are SO important. It sounds like the bonus is not in jeopardy, but even it were, here's some food for thought.

Bottom third captain (line-holders) at SY can make 500k in a year (credit + 401k DC). Today, there was a trip in open time worth more than $30,000 for a 12+ year captain. One six-day trip.

Not trying to stir the pot, but I think there's a good argument that even with or without the RT, ALPA is the way to go.
