I'm reasonable and have said many times there are quite a few areas where I would agree to help them address their concerns. Gee what if we only got 99% retro, but we got 50% raises? If you would agree to that, then you don't insist on full retro, etc. See how we can contort that and every other issue ad naseum?

Full retro is 100% reasonable. We are the best pilot group in the industry for them despite being completely disrespected and financially taken advantage of so they can light cigars with $1000 bills and burn pallets of cash right in front of us whilst paying themselves historic compensation during the most unbelievable times of profits.

I'm not talking about full retro back to 2001 with interest or full retro DB etc. Full retro to Jan 1, 2016 is 100% fair and reasonable and is so easily affordable it wouldn't even move the needle on their end. Not to mention, its the right thing to do.
Full retro is reasonable right now. In 6 months or 2 years (after all, we can wait, right?), if we negotiate a 18% pay increase, it isn't. But there are those that will say we say no until the company knuckles under. That is naive at best and laughable at worst.
