Bring it back to 1970 and I’m sure his argument is shot.
Yes he picked a specific point in time. I would have picked a much different point in time. Like 2002. UAL Contact 2000 paid a 777 CA $289/hr. According to the CPI calculator that is $521/hr today. How does negotiating for inflation sound now???

Aren’t we supposed to be clawing back what we used to have vs falling farther behind?
