Generally speaking, how do they split up backpay? I heard a former ASA employee say he was looking forward to back pay, but he works at Airtran now for at least the last couple of years.

Do they base the pay on what a Capt makes compared to an F/O (in other words if the F/O makes 40% of the Capt pay would he get 40% relative to the Capts backpay)? Does it matter what seat you're sitting currently, to what you were sitting for most of the negotiating time period? Does amount of time a pilot has been on property during the negotiatin period go into the computation?
