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.
Ya just gootta respect those who toss the word scab around for everything you don't agree with. You need to go back and re-read the definition of a scab. ALPA has lots of experience with coming up with convoluted schemes to distribute money and they will be working overtime with this one. However it is distributed, these forums will be debating it until the end of time - which I think is December 21, 2012
