Airline compensation is based on the escalator principle...if the company can selectively bribe anybody at any position on the escalator, the whole things falls apart. Not a great system by any stretch, but if that's what you have that's what you have to play by. How would you feel if you were nearing upgrade and the company paid mordida to every pilot except those plus or minus two years from upgrade (knowing that you'll stick around to get your 1000)?
