I'm expecting similar retro this time, but would be very pro pushing for more. Holding out for more retro may sting in the present, but make the company think twice about not negotiating in good faith in the next cycle. Probably not though, as every percent below 100 is a cost savings to the company. I feel like it was slightly different for those of us that were also owed loa 67 payment, which isn’t applicable this time around.
I can dig into it myself, but I thought somebody here might readily have that info. Thanks.
Everyone was owed loa 67 retro. Rates should have been higher on a date (retro started for anyone on property this date and everyone after this date) outline in 67 which was before the amendable date. Having said that your correct in that retro was higher to account for this period of time. My retro was more than double my nk counterpart. No idea what % of what it should have been but it was somewhere around 100 million. It was not based on w2. Based on differences in rates, old/new, (during amendable period) for each individual pilot. This is so we’re not rewarding pilots for running around picking up everything in sight.
