Hey everyone F9 pilot here, congrats on the retro checks! Sucks to hear about the state taxes and all. Anyway, w/o going into specific numbers how did the union decide how who got what amount? Capts and FO's each got a certain percentage, was it based on longevity, based on W2's from the past year, etc.

Thanks. I was just wondering for if and when we ever get a new contract and our retro.

They counted from amendable to DOS how many months you were an FO and/or CA then took those months and took the new rate and subtracted the old rate for each month. Add all the months together and divide by the total amounts of all pilots and that is your percentage of the 75M.

Ok great, thank you that seems fair enough.

Uhh.... It's not a retro check. It's about 1/5 of what retro should have been.

It means we lost the game.

If you get the same thing we get, you too will have lost.

Yes I understand. I was just curious how it was all distributed. I'm sure it will be similar here once ALPA, the pilots and the company can agree on an amount.

Thanks for the info.

Fine. A straight answer. 95% was deposited, in a standalone check, on the 20th. The other 5% will be paid next month.

Why is this even a question?
Of course ALPA dues will be taken out. I’m sure you know that though, and that you’re just expressing a little frustration. I get that much, but come on.

You could always tell ALPA to keep the bonus and you go in and try negotiate your own that you won’t pay dues on.
