My guess is we get the retro, but the company needs to save face with the BOD / shareholders / other non union work groups and make it look like we aren't getting this huge "raise" when Uncle Sugar was paying the wages.
The 18 months of PSP will be called something else...bonus, one time pay adjustment...something other than "retro"....that way Ed can stand up on TV and say something along the lines of "we only paid retro back to COVID recovery"
Whatever it's called, every pilot that worked even one day since the amenable date needs to be paid for their work!
