If you want to make 12 year min res 70 hours of 88 pay equal 12 years min res pay of 78 hours at SWA then you're looking at 48% increase.
I will say this, if this pilot group signs off on 30% over 5 years pay, which is highly possible under the guise better to be done at ammendable date with a achieveable contract and use next contract to get back to pay levels of 20 years prior with no interest... then I'm selling my house.
Because if your spouse doesn't work and your supporting the family then I think $150k is all you can afford on a house under Delta FO pay. Sure you can fly over 70 buy shouldn't the wise pilot only plan on 70?
