All of the unions knew that this bonus plan (or at least some type of gratuitous bounus plan) was going to be awarded since day 1 of bankruptcy. Glen did too- that's why he left his cushy job to come to our little fiasco. Unfortunately, as employees, we don't control executive compensation, and the most say we'll ever have is during the bankruptcy exit. I am afraid,however, that our objections will fall on deaf ears. They may cut it back a bit to appease everyone (and I think they may have already if I'm not mistaken), but it will still be a windfall for those guys.
The same thing will happen at DAL, NWA, and whoever else enters bankruptcy. It's a good 'ol boys' club in the window offices, and we ain't members.
