SEATTLE (AP) — Alaska Air Group says it’s paying $72 million in bonuses this week to nearly all of its 12,600 Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air employees for exceeding the Seattle company’s 2010 goals.
The bonus of about 9 percent is more than a month’s pay for most workers.
Nearly $44 million is going to employees in the Puget Sound area, about $11 million to employees in the Portland area and about $8 million to employees in Alaska.
