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.
So what you are saying is that the base raise was increased by 13% to be within 1% of Delta's base rate by 2016 less dues. O but wait we will be paying dues by then since we voted in our own paycut in April. I hope history shows that we made the right choice.
