Let's look at the 767 Captain rate for example:

2004 (C2K) rate: $267.52
At 78 hours monthly average (I'm guessing that's not too far off from what guys were averaging back then) and adjusting for inflation, that would be $314,428.22 today.

Current rate: $219.62
At 87 hours (the last average I saw from DALPA), that would be $229,283.28.

The difference between working 78 hours in a month and 87 would be at least another day on average possibly 2. So today's 767 Captain works a day or two more to get $85K less flight pay.

I'm not buying your assertion that you're anywhere even remotely close to C2K adjusted for inflation, even with profit sharing... unless you're flying a bunch of green slips or something.
