At UAL (at least for the 33+ years I've been here) the pilots have only gotten "retro" pay once and it wasn't full.

So for all you types who want a 40% raise and "full" retro pay I guess what you really want is to strike and make management pay for "their" greed. Because full retro pay is a dream which historically has never happened.

My personal observation, having walked the picket line, is that talking tuff and strutting one's stuff before a strike is awful easy to do.
Nicely said for one that is near the top of the seniority list and hasn't been surplused many times or furloughed. Maybe the "senior" pilots like yourself that still drive nice cars, can afford family vacations and have kids in private schools aren't willing to walk over retro but many junior ones are.
