OMG. NO. NO. NO. The hold back has NOTHING to do with the B fund problem or any other past military/CAL bad blood. The hold back was about potential lawsuits over the UPA retro payment or signing bonus (whatever you want to call it) methodology. That's it. and That's all. JH Christ.

And btw, the UAL side correctly made it a "retro payment". Delta differential $$ X paid credit hours in 2010/11/12. THAT's why the UAL side has no liability for the Duffer suit.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. So, the money held back was done so "preemptively" because the company and the union felt there would eventually be blow back. Funny though... I wonder why both sides didn't just call it "retro pay." wouldn't that have been the simpler course of action?

FWIW, the holdback check is available to view in PayAdv. I think it’s dated 28 FEB.

If a 25 year UAL pilot retired late 2013, would they be entitled to the hold back pay back?

All that drama and strife over $460 American bucks......

Don't under sell it Hoss. It's really about 2000 times that for a couple of lawyers.

But hey, its the American way.

Have you forgotten what kind of public frenzy $460 tax dollars brings?

That's a lot of moola.

Paul Ryan's school secretary could retire or go into hiding with that kind of cash.
