Give the total amount of retro dollars to the association for distribution. Pay everyone retro up to guarantee. Don't pay retro for those hours beyond guarantee. Use an aggregate number for the whole time period. Association keeps the rest of the money in a specially earmarked legal fund, charity fund, grievance fund, etc. Nothing to be used by reps/officers/employees.
Done.

Good point but ask yourself how many airlines over the past 20 years could afford it? FDX can afford it without skipping a beat.

Like I said on another thread. It doesn't matter what you call it, retro or bonus, the math is simple, 2yrs X 1000hrs/yr X pick a number, I'm picking $30hr. Kiss. The company should be thrilled with this. Crunch what the company has saved in work rules etc. and it would've cost them many times the retro pay. The company needs to pay and it's our job to show them the light.

Yeah, that's going to happen.

I agree with that format of paying the retro pay, however, there is no reason the union should end up with a pot of gold from the retro pay, to potentially be used as a slush fund (no offense to the union guys intended, but negotiated pay for pilots should go to the pilots). It could be adjusted so all pay is paid to the pilots based upon guarantee, so that there is nothing left in the pot after everything is paid out.

I think it could be whittled down to a matter of a small amount of dollars left over. Then again, I fear the concept of retro pay is only a dream, unfortunately.
