No word. It's only an AIP at this point so they still need to knock out the final language to get to a TA.

Any idea what she is talking about?

Pilots did get checks upon the passing of the JCBA. In fact we are still waiting on the last one. Depending on which sub you were your retro/signing bonus was split into multiple payouts. So she is correct.

Thanks, El10. Good to know.
It seems a lot of UAL pilots are unaware of this.

The pilots got retro pay albeit less than 100% that was proportional to our pay. It was not a signing bonus. We might not have even gotten to the respective amendable dates of the FAs' contracts so retro pay wasn't even an option.

Did every LCAL pilot get the same amount of $ or was it proportional to each pilot's pay?

Cal pilots got a time of sevice credit and an hours worked credit. So, if you worked your but off you got more than a min credit person. And if you were out on leave you didnt get what a worker bee got. Lawsuit is for military leave ,work credit.
