All in favor?? Aye!! Unfortunately I don't foresee that changing anytime soon... There's an argument for paying new FOs more once they need to meet the 1500 hrs to get hired, but where will that money likely come from? The airline won't want to spend any more money on payroll then they already do, so they'll likely try to pay senior CAs less so they can pay the junior FOs more. That has to happen through a change in contract, and I doubt many (if any) CAs would vote for lesser pay.
