What does that have anything to do with it? When everyone was growing in 2007, regionals would just hire street CA or FO that would only be FO for about a month before they can bid CA. Sounds to me like your company is trying to keep cost down, let guys fly as CA but on FO pay or blended rates. If you say they are growing so fast let them hire street CA and give them CA pay.
