2 year+ pilots did not receive a 13% unless they fly 78 hours or LESS Typical Jetblue math. Publish data, reference later and claim it as fact.

Pay raise hour by hour:

78 hours: 13.0%
79 hours: 12.3%
80 hours: 11.6%
81 hours: 10.9%
82 hours: 10.3%
83 hours: 9.7%
84 hours: 9.1%
85 hours: 8.5%
86 hours: 8.0%
87 hours: 7.4%
88 hours: 6.9%
89 hours: 6.4%
90 hours: 5.9%
91 hours: 5.5%
92 hours: 5.0%
93 hours: 4.6%
94 hours: 4.1%
95 hours: 3.7%
96 hours: 3.3%
97 hours: 2.9%
98 hours: 2.5%
99 hours: 2.2%
100 hours: 1.8%
101 hours: 1.4%
102 hours: 1.1%
103 hours: 0.8%
104 hours: 0.4%
105 hours: 0.1%

Summary: At 84 hours your increase is half what it should be. If you credit around 90 hours typically you're keeping pace with inflation (and that's all you're doing).

Anything after 95 hours and it's a pay decrease wrt COLA. Incorporate inflation and the new DH rule (incl. all of the 117 deadheads), and your break even is at 91 hours give or take. Anything after that is a dead loss.
