Boxes,

My comment on the 2006 payout was simple. Bonuses (supposedly back pay) did not match pay rates. As a SO my pay rate was about 70% of the FO rate but my bonus was about half. Hard to pretend that is fair in any way. This time my bonus is about 70% of a captains. That is fair. The difference is in 2006 we were bottom heavy with new hires. My comment was simply to point out the fairest way to pay the bonus would be to give everyone 130 hours. That way it is faithful to seniority.

This time, why is the NB SO bonus the same as the NB FO bonus?

That clears up my misconception, thanks. No poke or insult intended, sorry for the misunderstanding. There were lots of things that were not fair with the DW & BC leadership.

I am just guessing because I dont know the formula, but they take the average of all the NB FOs current pay rate, which includes a relatively large percentage of guys under 10 years service, and compare it to the average notional NB SO rate which are all over 15. The difference is miniscule so they said why bother. It is a way to reward the senior seats at the expense of the junior seats. It worked that way subtly this time to. My paayrate is about 71% of a WB captains but my bonus is about 68%.

Or it could be that they said hey for the 3 guys still getting SO pay lets throw them a bone.
