Granted a lot of other things were better back then, almost everything else as a matter of fact, but that does not change the fact that he is correct about the above. You could argue that it is irrelevant what the rules were back then, or you can try to make a case for them being relevant. If that is the case then I would say C2000 pay-rates are also relevant.

Fair enough. But if it still sucks, it still sucks, and IMHO, that is inexcusable. If it results in fewer pilots required, THAT is a CONCESSION. If the above 2 are true, I want to be paid handsomely for giving that up. The percentage goes up with each concession.
