Because my class - Nov 2014-was an "interim" class (between the PEA and an ALPA CBA), the company and ALPA basically told us..."we can't promise you anything. Yes, we'll pay you the going rate; however, we can't put anything in writing." We had a verbal on the bonus. Not one of my classmates could find any paperwork guaranteeing it. It was considered questionable until the money was in hand.
