This is quite inaccurate. It was improved for some. Remember the everyone above the Age 54 issue?
There was a pretty good Multiplier Bump indexed up the older a pilot was (up to 2.4%) which did in fact raise the pension well above $130,000 for the Pilots retiring within 5 years.

This was to make up for the Lack of years to gain anything from a 7% B plan which was raised from 6. It was done in 2006, why couldn't it be done today?
