Well, that's true, but... That's like saying you met a Netjets pilot in 2002 and he told you that a new TA was in the works and it had a pay raise. He wouldn't have been lying to you, but it took 3 years after that to get the TA ratified and to actually get that pay raise. A similar thing is happening right now at FLOPS.

Yes, a contract (TA) is being negotiated. Yes it will have a pay raise (otherwise it would never get approved). But if history is any guide, don't expect those negotiations to be done anytime soon.
