I talked to my Rep about the above post and he had already seen it. Basically, from the CAL perspective from people in the room, the only correct statement is that there is a dispute over the allotment of the lump sum disbursement and that UAL wants the majority of it. They are working on a dispute resolution process to move forward to an acceptable solution for all parties.

There are blocking and maneuvering shenanigans happening on BOTH sides.

Biggest mistake was allowing the company to wash their hands of the financial responsibility to directly pay out the retro. They got what they wanted by getting both MEC's to fight each other over table scraps.
