Flew with an FO recently that said they tried to go back and recoup a chunk of change from an error that hit his entire indoc class. But Michigan state law says that you can only go back 6 months, and that stopped the company from collecting, as the error was >6 months prior. Not sure if it was just pilots with state laws like that who were save or not, I just got the basic cliff notes.
