Signing Bonus/retirement question
Lets say you are changing seats from F/O to Capt and you are activated between the TA and the date it is ratified. Which signing bonus would you get, Capt or F/O? I can't remember how that went with the last contract.
Same as if someone is retiring. Say you retire between the TA and the ratification, would you get the old or new retirement package (assuming they are different)?

Retro is the only true value to make one whole. A signing bonus is a scam brought on by Management to pay 50% on the dollar really owed.
Why Union leadership has let this Camel's nose under the Tent is beyond comprehension.
And a Signing Bonus reenforces the theory of dragging out negotiations for the company. Then in future contracts, they delay to save $.

See Tony C's respose some time ago about the change in accounting rules that effectively prohibit a true retro pay.
2011 wasn't 50%, nor do I tkink 2006 was (although I don't have the details on my iPad)
The amount is negotiated, but whatever the percentage, it's better than the 0% received after our first contract was signed
