All of our previous CBAs are available on the fdx.alpa.org site under the Negotiating Committee tab.
The initial pay rate in our first CBA for a 15-yr widebody Captain beginning on the first day of the June, 1999, bid period was $183.37. That value, increased by 3% per year since that date, exceeds the current 15-year widebody Captain rate.
Mind you, simply keeping up with inflation does not constitute a pay "raise" -- it's simply a pay rate increase to allow the pilot to purchase the same level of home, car, clothes, and food on the table. A pay raise provides for a nicer house, nicer car, nicer clothes, and better food.
Food for thought.
