I can understand your viewpoint but that just isn't reality. The way to solve it is for a short contract length (3 years) and/or a "me too" trim up clause like at AA.
Which contracts was I making comparisons to that weren't even TA's yet? DAL/UAL/AMR/SWA/HAL/Allegiant are all post-ratification current contracts. Those are houses that have recently sold.
The others are the invalid numbers due to non-current contracts. Those are houses that are on the market but have not yet sold, and the only info available is what the purchase price was the previous time they were sold after the last real-estate bubble burst.
Comparing yourself to JetBlue/Alaska/Virgin/Frontier pre-TA rates is doing exactly what you're arguing against.
