And I whole heartedly agree that her opinion is one of the few that actually does matter unlike the company's, your union's, mine, and yours, and everyone else on this board.

I can't verify the validity of your post of her opinion, it does seem to make sense. Mostly non mega domestic'ish airlines. Thought I don't know if she perhaps also mentioned the likes of Frontier, Allegiant, and Sun Country in there somewhere, because that would make sense also, but you just chose to omit them because it doesn't fit your narrative. Who knows if her opinion has changed since then, given the development that Sun Country recently announced that they're shifting towards an ULCC model as well.

By yeah, her opinion does matter.

And to Qotsa, just because you keep saying it, does not make it any truer. Full retro is simply not industry standard. In just about ANY industry. It sometimes happens, more likely when the negotiations were short and the amounts are small, but most don't for anybody. But keep counting though and that $1.5 million dollar check will be in the mail for everybody in about 7 years.
