It's not a raise until -after- full restoration...

Consistent with strategic renegotiation, pilots { whose average wages were
much higher than the PBGC maximum guarantee { made wage concessions of 32.5%. In contrast,
non-pilot employees were mostly covered by the PBGC guarantee and hence agreed only to a much
smaller 10% wage cut.

Remember our 32.5% pay cut vs. their 10% pay cut, the next time some senior mama tells you how much more of a hit she took than you did...
