No actually the 2001 raises were as high as 42% for some pilots in actual fact. As far as furlough goes, that as has much to do with type rating as everything else, and the "natural" furlough rate is in reality currently not much greater than it would be at anyother time. The real problem is that in actual fact it is NOT a tight market, pilots as good as Delta's can be had for a fraction of the cost. Lastly, don;t play % games, unless you think that Mexico city Freeways have 17% more lanes than they did a decade ago, don;t go down that route (any statisticians out there know exactly what I am referring to.
