Because Tim and I know each other from the way back DALPA forum when you had your name next to every word you posted. To be fair although I've had a membership here for some time, I've only recently started posting. And every one of those posts originates from the same IP address and can be easily verified.

Those 3 bases were still "junior" to LAX, SEA, and MSP.

NYC already has a built in COLA, it's called Juniority. If you can hold Captain, or Wide Body F/O, only in NYC, you are being paid more in NYC (COLA) than what you would be paid in ATL, because you can't hold that position (or pay) anywhere but NYC.
Now...LAX is a whole different can of worms, because they don't have as many positions available out there. If they had all the same equipment based there, as in NYC, and if they had to cover 3 airports (do they still cover only 2?) it might go as junior as NYC.

Timbo,
I don't think LAX will go as junior as NYC - at least not until the military pulls out of SOCAL like they did in SFO. And contrary to what I see occasionally posted here plenty of new hire FOs want to get LAX based. The reason is that there are a ton of military guys who have already establish themselves in this area prior to getting hired by DAL.
With North Island, Miramar, March ARB, Pt Mugu NAS, Edwards AFB etc there are plenty of guys to feed the LAX base.
Now do these guys want to stay here for there whole careers retire and pay CA state income tax in retirement?
That is a whole different question. Scoop
PS - Still covering three airports but ONT trips are very very rare. Mostly LAX with some SNA for ER guys only.

Rumor: ALPA is constructively engaged with management and as a result pilots may be included in the 3% raises going to all Delta employees on April 1st.
That would be a nice little goodwill gesture just before contract negotiations open and it would also reduce by 3% the headline number coming out at the conclusion of those negotiations.
Front load and camouflage some of our pay restoration.
Sounds like a smart move (if true).
