200% bonus on annual salary for every C level guy at NK.

Crazy thing is the same provision is in most contracts, including ours. I wouldn’t put it past Bendo to cancel vacations during one of their FO staffing meltdowns

Love this lose language

“The Company may not cancel a pilot's scheduled vacation. If Company operations necessitate the postponement of va-cations, the Company shall first solicit volunteers for such postponement. If there are insufficient volunteers for such postponement, the Company may make such postponements mandatory.”

We aren’t going to cancel it, just postpone it for no longer than 2 years from now. 🙄

Yeah, I know its in ours but to cancel vacations because they can’t effectively run an airline that they get paid MILLIONS(I’m assuming F9 Mgmt compensation is pretty high) for is just absolutely mindblowing. If only there was a way to attract and keep people.
