Don't kid yourself, giving an FO some $ is not going to just make the airplane obsolete. They don't pay the FO because they haven't had to. When the cockpits are empty and they don't have anyone to JM then they will do something about pay but until they can't make ends meet with what they go they will continue to do as they see fit. They can raise pay by 10K for FO at Eagle and cost them 15 mil, that's less that what they give themselves in bonuses so I think they could afford it.
