So is that retro from last year sept 1? Or only this year? Getting paid 101 a trip for a 3 year and one day fo is good.

That's 114 per hour. That's the language they speak here.

Below are our updated pay rates effective September 1. These rates are planned to be reflected in your November 20 paycheck and retro pay will be calculated from September 1.

HEY BEST FRIENDS. Great news on your profits. Just think though what it could have been with added bag fees attached? Maybe twice that figure. And, it is great news you are getting a 3% pay increase too. I am sure the AT guys are also happy about that, since that 3%, added to the eventual 35%, will equal a 38% raise to what they earn now, which is good for all of us. PEACE AND LOVE BROTHERS, PEACE AND LOVE!

Regardless, I think ALL OF YOU ARE FANTASTIC PEOPLE. REALLY. YOUR MERGER WILL MAKE EVERYONE COMBINED EVEN MORE AWESOME. And, if you have time today, try to do something nice for someone or something, like bringing a small flute along when you go jogging to play for the local animals. The Pied Piper look is now IN! Chicks dig it too. See ya!
