However I'm extremely annoyed that the NC refused to negotiate retro-retirement and compensation like that and now they've divided us into those retiring soon vs everyone else, which compromises our deal.

I just simply don't feel too bad for any captain retiring right now under the current terms. If your financial house isn't in order to retire with the current pension after the opportunities of the last 3 years and your 401k isn't fat, a pension bump isn't going to save you. You have budgeting problems, and you had the opportunity to organize an effort to fix the pension in the previous CBAs.
