I was trying to correct the misperception that the bond allocations were not predicated on a fund projected benefits. They were.
As for the retro, it is simple in nature until people see someone else get more, then they will ***** and moan like a bunch of schoolgirls saying they got screwed.
Future quotes:
" I got screwed because I am on reserve and I got less hours than a line holder making my retro less than other guys in my seat"
"I got screwed because I flew the 319, or the 757, and had I known that the 320 or 767 paid more, I would have bid those trips"
"I got screwed because the CAL guys had the ability to ratchet up pay to 100 hours a month, and I couldn't do that"
"I got screwed because a 320 copilot got more retro than me, a 757 captain"
"I got screwed because I didn't get 100% retro"
"I got screwed because I don't like the payscales they used to determine retro"
I got screwed because I am/was furloughed and I should get retro even though I wasn't on the property"
"I got screwed. Not sure why, but if must be f*in ALPA's fault"
Personally, I don't give a poop. Retro, signing bonus, whatever. I will save my I got screwed until after the ISL.
