I thought it was even worse than a concession. It was a third rail we would never touch. Virtually every poster on here said no contract ever without full retro! I posted here in late 2019 that time was the companies friend and they would let it work it’s wonders and we would never see full retro. That’s exactly what happened. For all of 2020 we got a 4% non compounding bonus that didn’t cover inflation. A entire year that cost the company 150 million. Funny how everyone on here blasted me for saying 1 billion in the first year was reasonable. You screamed 1 billion was woefully inadequate and voted to take a 1 time 150 million payment.
There is another large concession which is a 4 year contract. In TA2 even the union admitted the 4th year was a concession. We now over a certain 7 year period and probably 9 or 10 year period managed only 1 bite of the apple.
