With all due respect, that was basically an acceptable rationale right up until August 1, 2015. We quietly watched as the company made record profits, all the while stoically biding our time, delaying our gratification. Do you think during the 5 year duration of the CBA management's compensation was proportionally correlated? Do you think management's pay is frozen now, post August, 2015?

Maybe not at the 15 year CA level, but there are several other seat/longevity points where this is true when you factor in total compensation (retirement, profit sharing, and/or bonuses). Regarding the aforementioned 100k compensation difference consider that there are several DL A320 FO's making shy of $200k/yr. Or, compare 8 year CA's, a $50+/hr difference, + DC + Bonuses.
*I mentioned Delta only to respond to the quoted question, not necessarily to suggest DL compensation at NK.
