It's not quite so simple. Management looks at the TOTAL bill for pilots pay, X millions depending on the size of the company. If he can save say 10% of that amount it's a considerable sum of money. If he gets 10% of what he's saved he's done well for himself.
Pilot pay is a soft target compared to getting the Arabs to reduce the fuel price.
