The huge 1-5 yr FO pay tells me there is a pilot shortage problem they don't know how to fix., 225 is a mess, etc. they figure if you are here for 5 yrs you won't leave. I'm a 7 yr FO and if this contract is not up to my expectations I'm leaving. Too many GREAT jobs out there to stay here.
Full retro means different things to different people. Most believe it will ben3-4% per year. BS. Whatever the % raise is (say 35) apply that to 2021, then annual there after. That has to be a line in the sand or next time there is no reason for the company not to drag this out.
