This has got to be one of the stupidest proposals i've heard yet. Base the retro on W-2?! It favors line holders, so those that are more senior. Also it favors Scabs: which I include those picking up trips while guys are on furlough or junior manning where they get additional hours of credit pay for taking a leg, turn, or trip. You must be one of these guys. Don't give me this garbage that reserve guys or low-time guys will be "rewarded" for getting an equal retro check. You are clueless.
