Short answer... we aren’t.
We were hired by an airline whose pension obligations to their pilots was wiped out by bankruptcy. Invoking a new obligation as reparations out of the contractual compensation of all those here now will only happen with the concurrence of the masses...meaning, it won’t. “Expectation” or not, there’s no way such an agreement even makes it to a TA in this post-VEOP world when a TA could be 2 years (and 800 more retirements) away.
