I too am trying to figure out how this constitutes a good agreement.
The company makes over a billion a year and we are able to eke out COLA.
Our "retro pay" is calculated at 7% which equals less than COLA.
The company has held this money collecting interest for the past two and a half years. So I'm guessing they didn't quite finance the entire "retro pay" in this two and a half years so the pilot group will wait another 6, 8 or 10 months to get the second payment ensuring that we finance as much of the "retro pay" as possible.
Am I missing something here?
I really don't care to hear we got what we deserved. I remember no strike vote, no cooling off period, no self help. Granted those are last resort, but we were far from it.
Maybe pay wasn't one of the main issues but i'm looking for gains that offset lack of a pay raise and can't seem to find them.
