It seems like Alaska already dropped the ball on this didn't they? If I'm not mistaken they got a bonus, not retro. The precedent has been set (and very low). ALPA always working against itself. I'm not expecting much more than Alaska and would expect they gave up on retro already.

All this time and energy wasted on a retro discussion when you need to be looking out the windscreen not the rear mirror. Escalator clause solves this for good. Keep arguing over the age of dinosaurs while management laughs, retaining you on puppet strings every 4 years. Same actions expecting different results is what?

And that is going to be determined by the strike vote results. If the results suck, of course the weak reps are going to use it as an excuse to settle for a crappy TA.
If the results are solid, it makes it much harder for them to give in.
At this point everything comes down to strike the vote numbers.

The MEC really doesnt control as much as people give credit. The negotiating stance comes from the reps we elect, the mec chair is the day to day stuff. Think of the reps like the BOD. JA left, theres someone in leadership that can carry the "vision" forward, and the reps will vote them in.

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.

logic because it was like a US Congress bill, lots of other crap in the loa that made it not a slam
dunk, still passed though.

It doesn't matter what JA wants. It never did. All that matters is what the majority of the reps and line pilots will fight for.

BTW, there will never be a better “next time”
