Could you please provide a reference? I tried looking it up on Google but couldn't find anything about monetary compensation from the company proper that went beyond their CBA. I did see about the possible book deal and speeches and a possible movie.

Signed
Your "pal"
No, you didn't strike a nerve. Just a figure of speech... pal.
Safety concerns... let me put it another way. Do you see a max exodus of people from the places like JetBlue or Skywest because of mass firings of any captain refusing to fly a broken or unsafe airplane? I don't.
Is it to say that the unions did nothing for safety? Of course not. But in today's day and age... if an operator is disregarding basic safety, I don't think having a union is going to help, but it will sure block you from trying to leave by making the price of you leaving too steep/unaffordable by the way of first year wages elsewhere.
