And you can bet if financials had been poor and pushed us into a lower pay band the company would not hesitate to implement the new pay cuts.....the company propaganda spin is they are giving us a raise in reality as G4FO points out it's merely a function of our current agreement with pay tied to company financial performance.

And just to put into perspective....if they gave every pilot (just for sake of argument to keep the math simple) a $3,000/mo. raise the profit would have dropped from $64MM to maybe $60MM - not exactly financial ruin.
