Thats flat out wrong. If it happens, that amounts to legally stealing from your fellow pilots.
it is a very small percentage getting that. maybe 10 guys if that I'm guessing. But yes that is a bit excessive...
to play devils advocate and watch the arguments, is it stealing when someone who has been here 2 years and is going to get a hypothetical $2000 wants to take $3000 of the guy's money who has been here 5 years and was going to get 8K but is now only gets 5K because the 2 year guy thinks he deserves as much? who has lost out on more lost wages/bennies over that time period?
hold on lemme make some popcorn...
fwiw my bonus is about middle of the road any way we do it so i'm not totally biased...
