And that is just current pay rates, once you get a couple of years out, there is no such thing as full retro pay, it is a myth.

Before C2012 the entire rest of the industry got nothing. In 2013 the rest of the industry got about 20-35% raises and were still behind us. Can you provide any explanation of why 2013 and beyond was so different from 2012 and before? If I showed that chart to 1,000 data analysts, how many would conclude that there was a clear statistical difference between before 2012 and after 2012? All 1,000? I still have not heard one clear explanation about how this difference occurred other than our C2012 changed the entire negotiating dynamic and produced these massive increases amongst the other pilot groups. Please explain it to me.
