This also does not mean that we automatically achieve full retro this time either. If we get a contract within a year I would say full retro is a slam dunk. 1-2 years probably. Longer than that and it gets a lot tougher.

It depends on how you define full retro. We got a small raise at the amendable date for contract 2000. Something like 3 or 4 percent. The big raise we only got two months retro pay on. If this drags out 3 years and they agree to 3% on 1 JAN 16 to the date of signing and then 22% at signing that's full retro on paper. The reality is its not even close.
