Anyone voting for this solely for the retro is incredibly short sighted.
To be clear, in your example, these are Captain upgrades that were offered to every incumbent pilot on the United pilot seniority list but for whatever reason went unfilled.
The TA under consideration with a reported $10B in cumulative gains, and your presumption is that there will still be insufficient bidders?
I want to be open minded to your argument, but this simply doesn’t track.
What is your solution & why are you willing to tank solid gains for pilots on the list today for an unlikely staffing solution that involves pilots that may not have even started flying lessons?
I have to assume the Feds, CASC, and yes even United management understand the risk and will respond appropriately should that clause be activated.
