UNAs were paid but didn’t fly. No block hours, no retro flight pay? (I’m not advocating either side of the argument)
The AIP says it’s applied to the “pilot’s eligible earnings,” the definition of which could be very much against the UNAs’ interest and for the company’s.
Edit - they’re not even calling it retro, it’s a “one time payment after ratification.”
If they try to freeze UNAs out this is some BS, there were guys junior to me still flying on some NB fleets, but they UNA'd me off the ER the first day they could.
