But, but , but....eff those charts and those rates....The pilots close to retirement now(and those that had to retire in the interim) should have fixed the retirement previously. I mean they only took a 45% pay cut which would only take a 90% "raise" to get back to break even (not counting inflation), Why couldn't they fix pay and QOL and retirement all in 1 contract if it was that important? Eff those money grubbing old guys...they want to take $$$ out of my pocket to fix retirement now? Eff 'em!

So, 10 years after bankruptcy and pay still wasn't back to break even(not even counting inflation). As I have said before, the contracts were biased towards fixing pay....then pay and QOL, then pay, QOL, and maybe retirement (for those not already gone who endured 15 years just trying to get back to pre-bankruptcy wage). But not to worry....the DC came into existence which is heavily biased towards those who have a long time horizon at Delta at the payrates that eventually came to parity.
