To restore the current contract 2012 rate to the C2K rate without inflation - 42% increase required.
To restore the current contract 2012 rate to the C2K rate adjusted for inflation ($286.78) - 71% increase required.

B-767 -
C2K rate (5/1/04): $267.52
Current contract rate: (1/1/12): $188.96
To restore the current contract 2012 rate to the C2K rate without inflation - 42% increase required.
To restore the current contract 2012 rate to the C2K rate adjusted for inflation ($323.21) - 71% increase required.

Like I KEEP SAYING...I'm just trying to take one step at a time. I'm just talking about pay restoration right now.
NOT RESTORATION TO NWA PAY RATES, RESTORATION TO THE C2K RATES AT DELTA.
The figures sent by Mesabah showed a 35% bump required to achieve
C2K AT DELTA restoration. I think DAL 88 driver's figures here are a better representative sample, and they show a 42% pay increase on day one required to achieve pay restoration to
C2K DELTA PAY RATES. That would bring the bump up to about 800 million, not the 690 million I previously posted based on a 35% pay bump.
800 million is not too much to ask for pay restoration.
NOT BASED ON INFLATION SINCE 2003. NOT RESTORING OUR BUYING POWER TO 2003. Just restoring the pay rates. 800 million. Can we agree on that??
