There is no way your straight pay increased that much in the same seat. You had to have upgraded or are counting your profit sharing in that total. If that is the case you need to figure out how much you lost when your retirement went the way of the dinosaur. If I remember correctly the profit sharing plan was something we negotiated in exchange for not protesting the DB plan termination.
