The answer is, as airline management (Delta because 9E only has management to check the corporate blocks) knows, 9E only needs an intermediate fix to staff airplanes NOW. This is why they are throwing cash at us. A base rate has too many long-term implications that 9E simply isn't worth investing in. A base increase permanently changes the expense report at Delta. In time, they will readjust to the needs of the time. You and Alaskabound should get a room.
