Pay is all about pattern bargaining between carriers. I don't know of an airline out there that doesn't have longevity increases, so I wouldn't consider that a "raise". Just my opinion, but you really SHOULD argue about the semantics of what a "raise" means. A 1% per year raise means that your buying power will be less 5 years from now than it is today.
You can bash unions all you want, but you benefit from the work they do.
