Actually, C2K didn't quite fully restore 1980's rates.
01OCT, 1986 - 767 Captain rate: $158.21
Adjusted for inflation, that's $342.55 today in 2014. (source:

01MAY, 2004 (C2K) - 767 Captain rate: $267.52
Adjusted for inflation, that's $335.92 today in 2014. (source:

FYI... today's 767 Captain rate: $219.62. That's a $122.93 per hour pay CUT in buying power from the 1986 rate and a $116.30 per hour pay CUT in buying power from the 2004 C2K rate.
