You are most definitely NOT correct. CX Pilots (and most other airlines too) get an increment for being more experienced in successive years, up to a point, then that too stops. Increments are not inflation adjustments at CX or any other airline, and they never have been. They are compensation for experience and 100% expected when joining. Inflation adjustments need to be fought for!
