This has got to be one of the stupidest proposals i've heard yet. Base the retro on W-2?! It favors line holders, so those that are more senior. Also it favors Scabs: which I include those picking up trips while guys are on furlough or junior manning where they get additional hours of credit pay for taking a leg, turn, or trip. You must be one of these guys. Don't give me this garbage that reserve guys or low-time guys will be "rewarded" for getting an equal retro check. You are clueless.

Y'all that think reserve guys have been slacking because they "only" make 70 hours should take turn or two during the summer and the holidays and tell me what you think about the life style. I've been STUCK on reserve for the last 4 going on 5 years. It's not fun.

Whatever its called, James wants a mess of it.
As mentioned above, retro is short for retroactive. It's the pay one earned after the amendable date of the last contract. The OT over achievers will do better than the guys on reserve. It is what it is and isn't worth arguing about. If YOU flew 85 hours per month per year you'd feel the same way. As for me, its 70 hrs month after month in indentured servitude to mother united.
But we can argue all day about a distribution of equity or a signing bonus. This place will implode if ALPA screws it up.

I think it is highly likely this whole $400 million rumor is just that. Some knucklehead FO rep wants the world to know he was privy to some nugget of knowledge that nobody else is when in fact he he isn't even in the circle of trust. At best he was given misinformation just to stir the pot
This is no different than all those guys claiming to have the "MEC chairman on the jumpseat" spreading stories.
