As already stated everyone got something. The heartburn is it was done as if rates were increased starting at amendable but not to the new amount with increases during the time-frame until now as opposed to the full increase done from amendable.
That and the union initially was trying to get a MBCBP with a minimum balance to help soon to retire pilots but dropped it as most of those it was going to help were now gone so it wasn't as high a priority. Since it was attempted it became an entitlement. That's what JB is really upset about, it just doesn't sound as good to complain about not getting something that we didn't have before.
