All the AT F/O's regardless of seniority (this includes the guys who delayed upgrade as a QOL issue, but who could hold captain) go behind all the SW FOs for upgrade for 9 yrs.

The pay differential T used is a little extreme, but it is to prove a point. Lets face it, as a W-2 employee, we trade pieces of our lives for dollars when we come to work.

When does the pay differential count? If you say .01 vs 50k counts as enough differential, then does 2k vs 25k also count or 15k vs 16k? The point is, money today does not equal money tomorrow. Seniority today does equal seniority tomorrow.

I just wish them all well, because while it doesnt affect me personally today, it can affect me personally later.
