Fastburner,

First, our salaries have kept up with inflation.
In 2006 the initial WB Capt payrate was $224.80. I don't remember what our pay raise was at the time, but I'd suspect it was in the 10-15% range because the duration of negotiations was similar to our duration for TA2015. (Our 99 CBA was a 5 year deal that became amendable mid-summer of 2004) Final pay rate of our 2006 CBA was $245.65 (Intl override was $9)
For comparison of the stagnating value of our pension, really need to start 2011/12 timeframe. 2012 probably a bit better, although I haven't done that math either, because March 2011 WB Capt pay rate bumped to $253.03 while 2012's was $260.61
Even worse, if you run with the 884 model, think your comparison would start circa Nov 2016.
IF you want to make it an even more eye opening disparity, both salary and stagnation of our 99 Pension, search out one of the True\Real inflation advocates on the internet who will tell you the 4% raise you earned last year didn't keep up with the Real Inflation.
