Glad someone else pointed out the difference between a raise and a bonus. When I was in management, I used to give bonuses because they were less expensive than raises in the long run.
And recalls for next winter is what I heard, and what makes sense. Should have made that clearer.
If/when the 85 come back, it looks like the current 14 day guarantee will pay almost as much annually as the old 16 day line did - since there are two intervening pay raises.
