Come on, Alan. You're not that naive. He's not talking about anything even remotely in the ball park of restoration. Try asking just about anyone on our MEC or any of the DALPA aficionados that hang around here about whether the 50% pay increase it would currently take to restore our buying power is reasonable. I can guarantee you their answer is no. They might even call it "onerous."
