Well, here is what straight pay looks like when you take Southwest less 10%.

Capt A320

12th year $164
11 $162
10 $160
9 $158
8 $157
7 $155
6 $153
5 $151
4 $149
3 $148
2 $146
1 $144

I would rather have this scale with straight pay rather than take a lower base pay with 1.5 over 70 with the rates we have now. After speaking with MANY pilots this new scale appears to be extremely popular with Jetblue pilots.
