Wow. This one statement is like a stab to my heart. I truly believed we would end up with a 30 percent raise up front. I assumed my fellow pilot group was expecting 2002 rates not adjusted for inflation (about 42 percent raise). The sad thing is I thought I managed my expectations down myself so I wouldn't be disappointed.

There is no way Richard Anderson could go to the board of our Company and tell them "Hey guys, it cost us some money, but we got it done early." The only thing he (or any manager in his position) could do is report the outstanding deal he got through proactive engagement.
Nothing against anyone if this early bite at the apple fails. Both sides worked hard in good faith.
Given that this (and whatever we negotiate before a strike vote) is going to be relatively cost neutral, I am fine with not selling scope or work rules for pay.

OK, Check. Those are facts. Why don't you pick a different time frame and provide your results. I'll wait.

I heard 10% date of approval and 12% 01 Jan 2013. 22% to start and 5% Jan 2014. 3 year deal. That's all I heard on hourly rates.

Herk, that's a great point. Here's my highly scientific poll:
80% of forum posters vote NO on everything
50% of forum lurkers vote NO on everything
80% of non-forum pilots vote YES on everything
Ergo, since the forum crowd is such a minority, TAs always pass with 60-70% yes votes.
This time will be no different....

I examined the statistics you provided and I concluded the following:
We've received regular raises and our pay still sucks.

I completely agree! So, what's your suggestion? So far, we have very distinct approaches, yielding very distinct results.
