NC,
The DFO has much more responsibility than a mere pilot and deserves his bonus. He has been a very good DFO on his ability to lower contract conditions since his arrival. Good job indeed.
We don’t need to pay the pilots more, ask yourself why would we? Why pay the pilot group more as they will do just as good a job or better, with intimidation, for lower pay? Why give money to the pilots when we can keep it for ourselves?
You should ask your AOA to take a survey, it should help with your cause.
To My Bonus.
