The plan is based on a payout of 5% of base pay if the targets are met, with the 10% being based on the maximum 'stretch goals' being met. These targets are set by the BOD - who are also paid by them, so they have a vested interest in seeing them be achievable - and averaging north of 9% over the last few years is pretty darn good once you add all the multipliers up.
This year, admittedly, won't be as great, projected to come in at around 7.5% of pay once all is said and done.
But saying you get 10% and if you miss, everything goes down, is incorrect. You get 5% to start, and it can go up 2X, or down, depending on performance.

Seriously? I should hope nicotine addiction isn't a problem for you. Get help if it is or apply somewhere else. The last thing I would look forward to with my 29+ years is some nervous addict experiencing agitated nicotine withdrawal and/or foul up the airplane with cigarette lung exhaust next to me or while non-revving in back. Gross! Get help before you drop dead from this ridiculous habit. And God forbid this happens in any flight deck. Seriously, with all the knowledge that exists today regarding smoking and nicotine and associated dangers and risks, why would a pilot smoke? Duh-um!
I'm pretty sure that AK gets a discount on their health insurance by screening for nicotine; after you're hired they don't care.

[QUOTE=lowflying;2499089]I suppose you don't condone drinking alcohol or eating fried foods either?
Nope. I drink and eat fried food. Even Alaska and any health professional would not object to this in moderation. But inhaling a vapor that becomes glue inside your lungs on top of burning something that creates over 100 carcinogens is frankly idiotic. Why would any company risk hiring a ticking time bomb. Watching my father-in-law gasp for air and endure heart attacks from this habit is sad. But flying alongside someone who chooses this habit and is responsible for lives? Stupid.

[QUOTE=Klsytakesit;2500042]I don't smoke cigarettes nor do I like them. The point of my post is that it is slippery slope for a company to ban the use of a legal substance based on the latest trends in morality. What if the company made us take a cholesterol tests or decided that we should not ever drink alcohol or caffeine? How about riding motorcycles or skiing? If someone wants to smoke a cigar or god forbid smoke a cigarette its legal that should be the end of the story.
