Most of the CAs I fly with and lately most of the jumpseaters (MSP320) seem to think scope is very important, but also have no clue where to begin with pay. I say "50% and work rules," they say no way. I say "15% plus 5% YOY for 5 years," and they say, "Fantastic, we shouldn't expect much." I think guys are just beat down.
