With a 19.7% payrate increase over 3 years and an early retirement program for the most senior on our list it is highly unlikely that pilots will wind up with a lower W-2. Also, should things go really south and block hours fall pilots will now have protections from their job being outsourced.

I'm not trying to be argumentative here. We can debate the possibilities, but how about we put some probabilities and context with them?
