So, to me it seems that the devil is in the details. Are we going to have a 20% DOS that goes 1+ years retro, or more likely will they say that 2021 and 22 were each 5% raise and 2023 is 10% (including the LoA raise).
I think the company is going to go for sticker shock, that will be underwhelming upon further inspection. I don’t know if flight ops management is correctly portraying line-pilot sentiment to Toby, SK, et al.
I wouldn’t be upset at a metered retro-pay framework. The numbers matter, of course, but if it generally followed the trend of growing inflation from then until now, I would consider that reasonable.
