Don't shoot the messenger, i have made my views clear and if you can't read or use the search function then by all means fire away at me
but to answer your question..the sole purpose of the w2 method was to make up for the loss of the 2% COLA raise we missed out on every year since may 05. If you look at it in that perspective it is fair. we might not like it but in that perspective it is fair. The guy with the higher payrate lost more of thart raise than the the guy with the lower payrate (2% of 80/hr is more than 2% of 60/hour is more than $30/hr). So given equal credit hours over the years, a 20 yr guy got more than a 15 year guy who got more than a 4 year guy and so on.
