I am in favor of everyone getting retro pay, as the amount would more likely be larger than a signing bonus, for both those flying extra and those electing not to fly extra.
More pay is more pay, so why are people against it? Jealousy?
Other airlines get it, why can't we?
Reward that type of behavior and you can expect even more of it next time around. That will further incentivize the company to run lean and to drag their feet in negotiations.
If we want more of that, we should keep doing what we're doing.
