By the same token you can't call the B-plan increase a true increase for all pilots over the term (and especially toward the end) of the TA. Where does that compensation over the cap that the pilot earns go? It is lost and goes back into the company's pocket. So exactly what does one call a 9% B-plan that becomes a 7+% B-plan over the long term? Sure looks like an hidden concession to me.
