The union has addressed this before in previous Contract Q&As.

Calculate what the retro pay would be and pay it out as a signing bonus instead. Violà

Yeah that sounds awful.

How about one signing bonus for all, anyone hired Nov 1, 2021 or later gets a prorated/reduced amount of that.

One bonus for all doesn't sound great either. If the purpose of the signing bonus, or retro pay, or whatever name you want to call it is to make up for not getting a pay increase for two years, then why should a 2 year 757 FO get the same amount as a 15 year Airbus captain?

Yea well 757 FOs get scope checks as well even though we are wet leasing wide bodies.

The larger point is we look like fools fighting over signing bonus vs retro pay, meanwhile the freight still moves and we have no contract.

Well signing bonuses/retro are stupid to begin with as they encourage yes votes that otherwise might have been no votes, so why not distribute the bonus equally since we will all get screwed equally by the guys who don't understand the value in saying no to the first offer?

HvypurplePylot has a point though.

That FO is probably being detained in the 757 without hope of training in the widebody he/she was awarded two years ago on 20-02.
