Haha no. I just don't like when people give blanket statements. Such as: "I'm a no vote if transition is gone" or "full retro or bust".

I just like to play devils advocate by challenging you to take a more methodical approach. For example: Review Hawaiian retro pay then figure out how much you would've gotten using that formula based on your longevity at spirit. Then when the company offers money in the form of retro or a signing bonus, you can compare your calculation. Then make a decision. I'd rather have a $50k high-five signing bonus vs. a $45k retro check. But yes, retro pay is typically going to be higher than a signing bonus.
