I don’t prescribe one way or another without the overall context of an agreement to look at. We could have full retro with small increases in the outlying years or less retro and more later. But, I think the above question should be asked and then answered. If yes, what did the pilot group do to achieve the result? If no, why hasn’t it happened before?
At least at the regional I was at, the senior pilots were so interested in not sharing any money with pilots that escaped to better places that they never even considered anything that could be called "retro." You'll find most examples were regionals that also likely had decided to avoid anything that shared money with those who left.
