I believe they got hit with the 5% (+?) cut in management cuts when FWS took his cut. When I went to the sim last month, my instructor was telling me of one of his DO buddies that was whining about the 5% cut. He said he told him to shut up and had better not whine around the school house and AOC, as he had a 96CH guarantee each month as a DO and 5% of that is still less than the hit the crewforce had already taken in the reduced BLG/RLGs over the previous months. Pretty much shut his DO buddy up!
