The dollar amount published for the signing bonus was incorrect, we actually got more.

The signing "bonus", which is really retro pay, should have been based on DOS, just like it has been in the past. The retro pay is for pay lost all the way up through DOS, so it should be based on DOS.

The MEC Chairman called it retro pay.
If it is presented as Retro Pay, but not distributed as Retro Pay, does that not constitute a problem?

Is some old data from the "lost decade" that got easy to tout in the old days but is no longer factual or am I missing something?United (ALPA) and Delta (ALPA) each have approximately FOUR times the number of pilots we have right now. With pay rates at those airlines and ours all in the same ballpark for the sake of this discussion, how could we possibly be "THE biggest" contributor any longer?

If we have more wide body pilots, our contributions might be "more" than airlines with fewer wide body pilots.
Again, just theorizing. I don't have time to back it up with facts, but I am sure someone else will come along to correct me if I am wrong.

Just sayin' - With these mega airlines that resulted from the recent consolidation, it's not like it used to be. Probably worth a pause before doing any chest thumping.
