the displaced captains here at pinnacle are my problem. but yeah i just thought i would point you to this thread. maybe your bonus check is the savings from furloughing your fellow pilots.

i mean does anyone else think its a little weird that you guys didn't meet the performance goals to merit the bonus, but they are going to give you one anyway? why would they do that? nice guys? no, they have more flying coming this summer and would really like to avoid recalling anyone.
you sound like another ive got mine guy. but hey, at least your not furloughed right? sad really.
Air Support, did you say you work at Peanuckle? If that's the case, then kindly butt out of our issue. Your "opinion" of why the sent out the check is irrelevant! How's that contract coming over there at PCL anyhow? Maybe you should get your own house in order before you tell us how to fix ours.
But to address your concern, I think you're finding a conspiracy where there is none. I wouldn't expect you to understand from the viewpoint of a PCL pilot under your oppressive management, but SKW does things differently. They "get it" that happy, empowered employees work harder and make more money. Ever since our performance hit in March, and the grounding of the planes in April, morale here has been in the dumps. We line pilots have felt like we busted our butts for nothing. Management recognized this and for the purpose of restoring morale,awarded a smaller bonus as a token for our hard work. I think they'd have done it even if we didn't have a huge summer coming. That's how SkyWest Inc does business.
