Q: Why are our payrate increases less than cost of inflation?
A: Our research indicates that the pay rates are well ahead of inflation projections. The question of inflation and pay rates was fully explored with our analysts in the ALPA Economics and Financial Analysis Department.


Seems like a politicians response. Well ahead of inflation projections? And what is that number?? And forget about projections. What about the inflation rate for the past 4 years. To prove the point, how about they explain their analysis.



I just dont like the lack of transparency in their answer. Mumbo jumbo cr@p IMO. Is it just me, or do others see it that way?
