Good assessment, Slow. Just one minor tweak to the way I think this should be framed...

I don't think what we want is "more". (I mean, it is but it isn't... bear with me.) I for one would just be happy to get back to where we were before airline pilot compensation was radically and unnecessarily changed. Until we get there, I don't consider anything we get a "raise", i.e "more". In other words, I do not consider our current situation some new "baseline" from which we would seek historically traditional improvements.

I know you understand all that. But I also think the way we frame it matters.

Anyway, just my "2 cents"...
