someone still smart please chime in
How, specifically, is the payout at United calculated? If it’s actually a copy of the delta plan, there is no “pilot pool” but a pool that is distributed to all employees based on relative income. I couldn’t find anything specific about pilots at UAL, but the AFA website would indicate that there is one pool at United distributed to all profit sharing participants.
If that is the case, including retro will be a big win as it will shift money away from the other groups and to the pilots. If not, it doesn’t matter because you will be getting a lot more money anyway.
