Ya think retro for retirees will face any headwinds from ALPA negotiators because ALPA MAY not be able to get their 1.8% on the retiree retro payout?
From ALPA's perspective(follow the $$$), if it paid out as a signing bonus ALPA gets their cut..... yes, I know it sounds cynical, and I'm not castigating ALPA by any means, but after safety, $$$ comes into play somewhere in the ALPA calculus.
Hopefully, I'm wrong
