No rewards for sending inexperienced negotiators lacking job knowledge. No rewards for dragging their feet. No rewards for public negotiations and attempting to pit other employee groups against us. Retro is a must as a deterrent to this same BS next negotiation.[/QUOTE]

The RLA favors management in dragging out negotiations. An IRONCLAD retro policy is the only possible way to offset that. And it needs to be implemented ALPA-wide, profession wide if possible.

An escalator clause is a better way.

Yeah sure, I’ll take that too.

Yep.

2020: 1% retro
2021: 1% retro
2022: 1% retro

See!?!? We got 3 years of "full" retro........ Resolution was mostly symbolic.

Full retro means that the date of signing percentage increase is fully retroactive to the amendable date. That’s what it means to any reasonable person. Anything else is just playing games and doesn’t meet a standard of reasonableness as it applies to that terminology.

Ok. We will see if it means what you think it means. I didn't see anywhere in the resolution stating that what we get on signing day is retro'd back to 2020. Maybe I missed that language..... Nor did it address what is "reasonable". The resolution has no real teeth.

Just so I understand…if we ratified an agreement on January 1 2023, you believe folks who retired in September of 2020 will get retro pay at that rate for their nine months of work in 2020?

My hunch is that not everyone has the same reasonableness standard as you think they might.

Are you suggesting that with a hypothetical 20% DOS, a retro payout would be 20% of all earnings from Jan 2020 to present? I’d say zero percent chance of this happening.

I’m not saying I have a guess as to what we’ll get. But if someone says “I want full retro,” that’s the expectation. Fully retroactive pay rate. I’ll let the union negotiators decide what makes sense to put to a TA vote. I’ve let the reps know what I’d like to see and I don’t need to negotiate it in public, but that term does have a meaning.

I dunno, just some back of the envelope math here but...
With a 20% raise applied across all fleets I come up with a very rough estimate of about a $36/hr raise for all pilots (obviously some will see more, some less).
72 hrs x 36 mos x $36 = approx $93k per pilot
$93k/pilot x 14,000 pilots = $1.3B for full retro. Doesn't really seem like a cosmic ask to me.
