With the divorce rate here that is definitely a priority.

Look at it this way. Since it has been labeled a signing bonus by UPS instead of retro, why shouldn't we expect to get a "signing bonus" regardless of the TA extension raises.

I like the way you think.

The ex wife part is true.

However it’s not the same. Because of the interim agreements with raises there would be no retro pay to be had. Retro is designed as back pay from when the contract becomes amendable to when it is ratified. In this case (hopefully) that will be a very short time. This is one case where a bonus will be more lucrative than retro.

I get that ...but I will be totally shocked if the "bonus" is greater than what the "retro" would have been.

Well retro will be zero as the contract should be ratified before the amendable date (caveat: this will require everyone to start doing the job of one pilot).

I would hope we secure a larger signing bonus this time around but 2016 was the same as 2006 so that’s my minimum expectation

☝️ Get me some of what this guy's smoking! 😂

I like your optimism dude, but I just don't see how that happens. I'll happily eat crow here if it does tho.
