Except, you know it was not a theft: Pay was voluntarily given away in exchange for unpaid leave. The company awarded the unpaid leave as promised. The fact that they paid back 90% of the pay that was forfeited, without asking for the leave back, will never be seen as a theft by anyone. The money returned to employees, whatever the amount or percentage, was a bonus, whether you like it or not. In fact, captains ended up with more extra paid leave than anyone else, as much as 90% of 4 times more than most.
