Its nice to shoot for the moon, even if it just helps you get over the fence.

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.

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.
