Well, the company is getting $45,000 of our loyalty over five years. When do we start getting our "suitable bonus for being loyal pilots"? Unless you think getting to keep the company's donation to our provident fund (which is supposed to be part of our package anyway) after 7 years is a generous 'bonus'? Or are you hanging on for your free watch after 20 years?
And don't get me started on the fact that a reasonably large group of pilots aren't bonded at all and have no problem leaving when they feel like it, sometimes straight after a command course.
